KEPORT

RESPECTING

TAVERN AND SHOP LICENSES

FOR THE YEAR 1874.

Presented to the Legislative Assembly, by Command of His Excellency the
Lieutenant-Governor.

ARCH. McKELLAR,

Secretary.

Provincial Secretary's Office,
Toronto, 16th Nov., 1874.

To Mis Excellency the Honourable John Crawford, Lieutenant-Governor of the
Province of Ontario.

May it please Your Excellency :

I have the honour to submit to Your Excellency the following Report and accompany-
ing Schedules respecting Tavern and Shop Licenses for the current year.

The Schedules contain the Returns of the Clerks of the Police Commissioners in cities,
and of the Clerks of the Councils in other Municipalities in compliance with my circular
letter requiring these to be made.

The returns are intended to show the number of applicants for licenses ; the number af
applications granted for Tavern and Shop Licenses respectively, and the reasons (if any) in
eases where applications have been refused.

A comparison between these returns and the population of any Municipality, will shew
how far the Licensing Bodies have assumed to be controlled by such a consideration, and it
has always been their duty to impose a limit on the number of Licenses — both Tavern and
Shop — to be issued ; but until the Act of 1874 was passed, they were powerless within the
limited number to refuse to grant a license to any applicant, if favourably reported by the
Inspector of the Municipality, however unfit the applicant in truth was, or however unne-
cessary and undesirable the licensed premises were, in the locality. In fact the Inspector,
under the Act of 1869, had sole control in the issue of Licenses, subject only to any limit

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 4.) A. 1874

imposed by the Police Commissioners, or Municipal Council, and where, as in the City of
Toronto, he had also been appointed by the Government the Issuer of Licenses, he was free
from any check or respousibility, and was absolute master of the situation.

The evils of the existing law led to the reforms made by the Act of 1873, and its results
in suppressing unlicensed Taverns, in confining the sales of the licensed within the permitted
hours, and in diminishing drinking, were so beneficial that I was induced in the Session of

1874 to propose further amendments with the like tendencies, and to combine the whole law
into one Consolidated Statute.

This Statute did not become law until the 25th March, 1 874, ana hence many of its most
important provisions cannot be tested or be proved beneficial until the licenses for the year

1875 are to be dealt with by the " Licensing Bodies." These improvements in the law have
not yet been fully understood either by the public, or by those public bodies and officials who
are charged with duties, which, if properly performed, will render the Act efficient in pro-
tecting the community against many of the evils of unchecked public drinking, and of its dis-
reputable concomitants.

The limits of our Provincial jurisdiction prevent the Legislature from considering or
giving effect to any measure which involves total prohibition, except that it has taken care to
preserve in full effect the provisions of the Temperance Act of 186-i — and the duty of regula-
ting the sale of liquor therefore devolves upon the Provincial Legislature. While the B. N.
A. Act of 1867 gives that Legislature express power, it would have nevertheless been one of
its implied duties, for otherwise the traffic would have been free and unrestricted, and the
most injurious results would have followed. A writer of experience (Baxter on " Taxation,"
p. 140) says, " cheap spirits, and unlimited beerhouses have always been found to multiply
drunkenness. A correspondent," he says "of the Nonconforniist states the result as regards beer-
houses. ' The experiment was tried in Liverpool. The magistrates there, a few years ago,
' licensed every one who applied for liberty to sell drink, su as practically to leave the trade
' open. The result was that two years since they were compelled to fall back upon restriction,
< so awful was the outbreak of intemperance in that part. The s ime result would certainly
'follow everywhere.' " Again, Mr. Arthur Arnold, in discussing the question of" Liquor and
Licensing," in the Fortnightly, 1873, comes to the conclusion " that all restrictions upon
the traffic have the effect of diminishing drunkenness."

The License fees imposed by our Statute are not demanded for Revenue purposes, but
rather to serve as a guarantee for the observance of the regulations imposed by law on the
traffic — and if the municipal fee on Tavern Licenses was established as the equivalent for the
increased value of the premises as a Tavern over its occupation for other purposes, it would
check the tendency of house owners to encourage a large number of Public Houses.

The provisions of the present Act are clear and intelligible, and can be made easily ope-
rative. The majority of the electors in each municipality can control the sale of liquor and
prevent many abuses by requiring their Councils to appoint proper Inspectors and the Licens-
ing Bodies to properly discharge their functions. It cannot be said that the Council or
Police Commissioners are doing their duty when it appears from the returns that in Hamil-
ton, with a population of 26,716 in 1871, the Police Commissioners have granted 228 Tav-
ern and Shop Licenses — 121 being for Taverns; and in Toronto, with a population of 56,092
in 1871, the same body have granted 491 Tavern and Shop Licenses. 302 being for Taverns.

The public opinion of the Municipality should be sufficient for obtaining from the Coun-
cil au Inspector who will faithfully discharge his duty, and the Licensing Boards in Cities is
composed of persons who should be the most suitable for the purpose, as they know the law
and all local circumstances. The operations of next year, when all the provisions of the new
Act will be in force, will shew whether these bodies and officials properly discharge their func-
tions, ana to what any inefficiency may be attributable.

LAW EEftPECTING LICENSES FOR THE SALE OF LIQUORS.

I. The Act of 1873 (36 Vic, cap. 34) introduced the following amendments : —

Sec. 1 extended the prohibition and penalty for "selling without License " to " keep-
ing" also.

Sec. 2 made convictions for selling without License possible ; for by it appliances an d
indications of a tavern business were made presumptive evidence of " selling," and of the
" occupant being the person who kept therein Liquors for sale."

Sec. 3. Offence against selling within prohibited hours was also made more easy of proof-
in that the fact oi-' persons (other than the family) being seen, or lights burning in the public
room was mnde p/ima facie evidence of a sale of liquor contrary to the Act.

Sec. 4. The occupant was made liable for the act of his servant or other person in sell-
ing liquor, and proof of agency was dispensed with.

Sec. 5. The sale of liquor from any vessel at any pier or mooring was absolutely pro-
hibited, and owner, captain, and the person selling were made severally liable for the penal-
ties.

Sec. 6 threw the burden of proof of being licensed on the defendant — formerly the
prosecution had to make this out.

Sec. 7, increased license duty by one-third and more.

Sec. 8. The Lieutenant-G-overnor in Council was authorised to appoint one or more Pro-
vincial Officers to enforce the Law, and Police Commissioners in (Jities, and Councils, in
other Municipalities were required to appoint an officer for a similar purpose in their localities.

Sec. 9. The County Attorney was required to conduct prosecutions for offences against
the Law.

See. 10. The Common Informer (whose " permits " were more security than licenses)
was abolished.

II. Act of 1871 (37 Vic, cap. 32) Consolidated and amended the Law,
The further amendments to the Act of 1873, are —

1. It re-established the license to sell " by wholesale," or a minimum of five gallons.
Under the former Act wholesale dealers sold under a " Shop License " as low as a quart. —
(Sec 4.)

2. It disqualified aa '• Issuer of Licenses " being also " Inspector," as in Toronto ; for
one officer should be a check on the other. — (Sec. 6.)

3. The Police Commissioners in Cities and Councils in Townships, Towns and Incor-
porated Villages are requiral to pass by-laws in the month of February, in each year, for
regulating taverns and shops — as to the conditions and qualifications requisite for limiting
the number, for defining the times and localities within which, and the persons to whom the
limited number of licenses may be granted. The exemption as to Saloon Licenses is for a
maximum of ten in cities and four in towns, and is identical with Sec 9 of the Act, 32 \ .,
cap. 32. Formerly by-laws were not passed in many ]\Iunicipalities, but now no license cun
be issued unless there is a by-law.

The certificate of the Inspector in favour of any applicant was absolute, and with it he
could demand a license from the Commissioners or Council. Now the latter only have all the
power, and it is upon these bodies that the efforts of the community can be made immediate
and effectual.

4. The Issuer of Licenses is strictly limited by the number, times, localities and
persons prescribed in such By-law, (i. e., he cannot issue any License unless there is a By-
law). Sec. 11.

5. Taverns are required to retain during the existence of the License, the accommo-
dation required by-law, and except in Townships, no tavern shall communicate with any
grocery.

6. The report of the Inspector in favour of any applicant is now required to be tiled, and
may be inspected by any ratepayer, (sec. 13.) Hence any want of qualification can be brought
home to Inspector.

7. Licenses can only be issued to the true owner of the business, and he must be desig-
nated in the By-law, or in case of a transferee, otherwise approved by the Police Commis-
sioners or Council as the case may be, (sec. 14.) Formerly, sham, or reputed owners, such as
wives and persons of no means were inserted in the license to rrevent recovery of penaltie.-.

38 Victoria. Sestionai Papers (No. 4.) A. 1874

8. A system of keeping Licenses on hand, and in favour of the Inspector's nominees
used to prevail. These were transferred for a premium to persons actually requiring licenses,
to the benefit of the Inspector, and where he was also Issuer the proceeding was much faci-
litated. Sections 17 and 18 correct these abuses.

9. Duties were increased by the Acts of 1873 and 1874, and the attempt was to arrive
at the limit where the amount would be high, but not so excessive as to tempt parties to sell
without licenses.

10. Chemists in many places sold without restriction. They are now confined to sales for
medicinal purposes, and in packages of not more than twelve ounces at onetime, except under
medical certificate, (sec. 27.)

11. Penalties were made more stringent especially against any person having any duty
to discharge under the Act. (See sections 30 to 43 inclusive.)

12. In procedure — a simple and summary mode of appeal was given, and convictions
made less difficult by certain facts being made presumptive evidence against defendant, and
thus throwing upon him the onus of disproving them. (Sees. 44 to 53.)

13. Not only did the Act of 1873. through the appointment of a Provincial officer, make
the'Municipal officers more alive to their duty, but the Act of 1874 went further, and required
every policeaian and constable to enforce the law, under the penalty of a personal fine of $10.
(Sees. .t4 to 58.)

14. Two important provisions were introduced by sections 37 and 38, by which the
County '^ourt Judge can revoke a license improperly granted, and can remove an Inspector
who neglects his duty.

15. The Government can interfere more directly under the Act than it has thought fit
to'do, but it lies more properly with the Municipalities to enforce the provisions of the law.

To the Honourable the Secretary of the Province of Ontario.

Sir, — I have the honour to transmit to you, for the information of His Excellency the
Lieutenant-Governor in Council and the Legislature, the following Report upon the Paige on
tology of the Province of Ontario.

The present Report is supplementary to the one which was published by the Legislature
in the year 1874, which was exclusively concerned with the organic remains of the Devonian
rocks. This, on the other hand, is a record of the collections which I made during the
summer of 1874 from the Silurian Rocks of the Province. I have also carried out some
further investigations in connection with the Devonian Series, an account of which is ap-
pended at the close of the Report.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your most obedient servant,

H. Alleyne Nicholson.

Newcastlb-on-Tyne, October, 1874.

PREFACE.

The Report upon the PalaDontology of Ontario, which was published in the beginning
of the year 1874, was a record of a series of researches carried on during the year 1873, and
comprised descriptions of one hundred and sixty species of fossils, all from the Devonian
Rocks of the Province. 'J'hese researches which were begun in 1873, were continued in the
year 1874, and the present Report is their result.

Collections were formed from the various Silurian Formations of the Province, from the
Trenton Limestone to the Guelph Dolomites, inclusive. Further investigations were likewise
carried out on the Devonian Formations lying between Lakes Erie and Huron.

Owing to want of leisure and to personal circumstances, to which I need not further refer,
the present Report is not of such a detailed character as its predecessor. In the case of well
known species, I have been compelled to content myself with a simple quotation of the name, and
a reference to some well-known work where the Canadian student can readily refer for a descrip-
tion. I have, however, given descriptions, in most cases accompanied by figures, of all new
species, as well as of those which have not been thoroughly examined or described in pre-
vious or readily accessible works.

As in the case of the preceding Report, I have to acknowledge myself deeply indebted
to the admirable palaeontological works of Mr. Billings and Professor James Hall. I wish also
to acknowledge gratefully the kind assistance which I have received from Mr. George Jennings
Hinde, Mr. David Boyle, of Elora ; Mr. John Wilkie, of Gruelph, and Messrs. C. Clarke, senior
and junior, of Elora, aU of whom have furnished me with valuable material, and otherwise
contributed to the objects which I had in view.

CHAPTER I.

Fossils of the Trenton Formation.

1. " FUCOIDS."

The Trenton Limestone, in certain beds contains a large number of remains which
would be referred by most palaeontologists tcTthe class of so-called " Fucoids." I have been
for some time engaged in making a special study of this singular and obscure group of fos-
sils ; and I shall at present reserve my remarks upon the forms which are found in the

Fig. 1.

Buthotrephis yracilis, Hall; a supposed "Fucoid," from the Trenton Lime-
stone of Ottawa.

Trenton Limestone. I will merely mention, therefore, that the commonest forms are refer-
able to the genus Licrophycus of Billings. These are very abundant in the Trenton
Limestone of Ottawa and Peterboro'. Others, from the same locality, are referable to
the genus Pakeopkycus (Hall). Others, again, very abundant in one particular bed at
Ottawa, are composed of a central stem with large flexuous lateral branches, and these
would be referred to the genus Buthotrephis, of Hall. Lastly, I have one well-preserved
example of a singular form, which is closely allied to, if not absolutely indentical with, the
remarkable fossil described by Dr. Newberry from the Cincinnati group of Ohio, under the
name of Fucoides Earrisii. The section of this, as it appears in the stone, presents a close
resemblance to sections of species of the Polyzoan genus Archimedipora. It has clearly been
of a calcareous nature, and its cross-section is acutely elliptical. It is extremely doubtful if
this is of a vegetable nature. The locality of this curious form is Ottawa.

2. Stromatopora (sp.).

Examples of Stromatopm-a, often attaining a large size, are very abundant in parts of the
Trenton Limestone. None of the specimens, however, which I have seen, were in such a con-
dition of preservation as to allow of their specific determination.

ing ; Peterboro ; Ottawa.

COLUMNARIA ALVEOLATA (Hall, not of Goldfuss).

(Ref. Pal. N.Y. Vol. I, p. 47, PI. XII. Figs. 1 a—c).

In describing the genus Favistella, at a later stage, I shall give a brief account of the
genus Columnaria. In the meanwhile, it is suffi,cient to state that the Columnaria alveolata of
Go IdfusB, as originally described and figured (Petref. Germ. p. 72, PI. XXIV, Figs. 7 a — c)
appears to be undoubtedly identical with the well-known Hudson River coral described by
Hall , under the name of Favistella stellata. Strict justice, therefore, would demand the sup-
pression of the name Favistella stellata, and its replacement by the older name of Columnaria
alveolata. This course, however, would lead to great inconvenience, for the name Columnaria
alveolata has been almost universally applied by writers subsequent to Goldfuss to the coral
which I am about to describe from the Trenton Limestone. I am inclined, therefore, to
think that the best plan is to accept Columnaria as defined by McCoy and Hall, and to allow
Favistella to stand for the species originally referred by Goldfuss to Columnaria. On this
view, the genus Columnaria will include certain aggregate corals, which closely resemble
Favosites in general appearance, but which are distinguished by the absence of mural pores,
and by the presence of distinct septa, which do not, however, reach the centre of the corallites.
If it be admitted that the septa are sometimes prolonged to the centre of the corallites, then it
becomes necessary to unite Columnaria and Favistella, as no other essential difference between
these two genera has hitherto been pointed out ; and it is, indeed, doubtful if they can be
maintained as separate groups.

Columnaria alveolata (Hall), is one of the commonest species of the Trenton Limestone, and
often attains a large size. It forms hemispherical or irregular masses, composed of hexa-
gonal or pentagonal corallites, which usually appear to be more or less firmly united by their
walls. The average diameter of the corallites is about one and a half or two lines. The

8

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No 8.) A. 1874

tabulae are complete and very well developed, four or five occupying the space of two lines.
The septa are well developed, but are not complete, never extending in any of the specimens
which I have seen, more than quite a short distance into the interior of the corallites. They
appear, therefore, as a series of closely set longitudinal ridges on the inner faces of the coral-
lites. In general appearance this coral is closely similar to Favosites Goihlandica and also to
the coral which I described from the Hudson River group under the name of Columnopora
rribriformis. From the former, however, it is readily distinguished by its absence of mural
pores and its comparatively well-developed septal apparatus ; whilst it is distinguished from the
latter by its imperforate walls.

4. CoLUMNARiA GoLDFUSSi (Billings).

CohLmnaria Goldfussi (Billings), Memoirs of the Geological Survey of Canada, Report of
Progress, 1858, p. 166.

Corallum aggregate, of small pentagonal or hexagonal corallites, averaging half a line in
diameter, and usually forming sub-hemispherical or sub-globose masses. The radiating septa
are rudimentary, and form a series of vertical ridges in the interior of the corallites. Tabulae
imperfectly observed.

I have a number of small specimens from the Trenton Limestone, which appear to be re-
ferable to this species, though they are all of inconsiderable dimensions, and do not exhibit
certain structural characters in a satisfactory manner. They agree, however, with Colurn-
naria Goldfussi (Billings), in the size of the corallites.

Locality and Formation. — Trenton Limestone of Peterboro' and Trenton.

5. Pkotarea vetusta (Edwards and Haime).

Porites? vetusta (Hall), Pal. N.Y., Vol. I., p. 71, PI. XXV. Figs. 5a, 56.

Corallum forming thin crusts, about one-third line in thickness, which grow parasitically
upon foreign bodies ; calices nearly equally developed, about one line or rather less in diam-
eter, shallow ; the bottom of the cup tuberculated. Septa twelve in number, sub-equal,
extending but a short distance inwards towards the centre of the cup. No columella, dissepi
ments, or tabulae. Walls of the calices, thick.

This pretty little coral has been noted by Hall from the Trenton Limestone of the State
of New York, but it is much more abundant in the succeeding formation of the Hudson
River group.

Locality and Form' dion. — Trenton Limestone, Peterboro' (also common in the Cincin-
nati group of Ohio).

G. Favosites Gothlandica (Lamarck) ?

I feel considerable hesitation in quoting this species from such a low horizon. I hav(^
nevertheless, a well preserved specimen of a coral, which I collected personally from the
Trenton Limestone, which agrees in all essential characters with the above species. Its state

9

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 8.) A. 1874

of preservation is not such as to show the mural pores, which would be a decisive test of its
atfinities ; but it clearly does not possess the septa which are so characteristic of Columnaria
alveolata (Hall).

Locality ami Formation. — Trenton Limestone, Macpherson's Quarry, Lake Couchiching.

7. Tetradium pibratum (Safford)?

A species of Tetradium is of not uncommon occurrence in the Trenton Limestone, which
may be provisionally referred to T. fibratiim (Safford). Its state of preservation is such as to
render any determination of its minute characters impossible ; but it agrees in the size of its
tubes with the above species, rather than with the form which I shall shortly describe from
the Hudson River formation, under the name of T. minus (Safford).

Locality and Formation. — Trenton Limestone, Ottawa and Trenton.

8. Ch^tetes petropolitanus (Pander).

(Plate IV., Figs. 3 and 4).

(For a full description and synonymy, see the same species in the Hudson River
formation.)

Chcetetes petropolitanus is one of the most abundant and characteristic of the corals of
the Trenton Limestone. It usually shows very distinctly its concave base, with its concen-
trically striated epitheca ; but it varies immensely in form. The smaller specimens usually
have the form of thick discs, concave beneath, but more or less strongly elevated above. The
larger specimens generally form conical or hemispherical masses ; but some of them are of a
more or less cake-like form, (Stenopora patula, Billings).

Locality and Formation. — Trenton Limestone, Ottawa, Belleville, Trenton, Peterboro',
Collingwood.

9. Ch^tetes discoideus (James).

(For description and synonymy of this species, see the same species from the Hudson
River formation).

The Trenton Limestone has yielded a few specimens of a species of Chcetetes, which in
most respects agree with the young of 0. petropolitanus, but are distinguished by their remark-
able tenuity. They agree entirely with a number of specimens from the Hudson River for-
mation, in treating of the fossils of which they will be fully described. I do not, however,
feel certain that they can really be kept apart from C. petropolitanus.

Locality and Formation. — Trenton Limestone, Trenton.

10. Ch^tetes undulatus (Nicholson).

(Plate IV., Fig. 1).

Amongst the forms included by Hall under the name of Ghmtetes lycoperdon (Say), there
is one (Pal. N. Y., Vol. I., PI. XXIII,, Fig. / — g), which is far from uncommon in the
Trenton Limestone, and which, I think, might perhaps be considered as a distinct species.
It is, certainly, very distinct from the typical forms of C. lietropolitanus, since it never shows
a concave base, but on the contrary, appears to have been always fixed. It forms great

10

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 8.) A. 1874

lobate masses, sometimes shaped more or less like a funnel, and often deeply indented later-
ally. Some of the specimens which I have seen have not been suflSciently well preserved to
allow of my studying the minute characters of the cells in a satisfactory manner ; but, so far
as I have been able to make out, the calices are polygonal, thin-walled, about six in the space
of one line, destitute of very minute intermediate tubuli, and showing no well-marked tuber-
cles, nor groups of large-sized corallites. If it should turn out that the form here indicated
is distinct from C. pelropolilanus, and that it is not a very massive form of some such species
as C. pidchellus, I would propose for it the name of Chcstetes undulatus. It is also of com-
mon occurrence in the Hudson River group of Canada, and the Cincinnati group of Ohio.
Locality and Formation. — Trenton Limestone, Belleville and Peterboro'.

Formation.)

the Fossils of the Cincinnati Group, 1871.

C%ceteies gracilis (Nicholson), Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc, Vol. XXX., PI. XXIX.,
Figs. 7— 7a.

This species is very closely allied to C. Fletcheri, but may be distinguished by the uni-
form size of the corallites, the minute oval or sub-triangular calices, and the very oblique
corallites. This last mentioned character is the one by which C. gracilis is most readily sepa-
rated from C. Fletcheri ; but it must be admitted that it is often difficult or impossible to
make the distinction between these species, unless the observer has to deal with very well-
p\eserved examples.

Corallum usually of sub-cylindrical branches, which have a diameter from two to six
lines ; sometimes forming flattened and expanded sub-palmate fronds ; sometimes inosculat-
ing. Corallites thin-walled, unequal, the average ones being about eight in the space of one
line. Surface exhibiting rounded or somewhat stellate groups of large-sized corallites, of
which two or three occupy the space of half a line, and which sometimes have very minute
cylindrical corallites between them. Tliese groups of large-sized corallites generally comprise
from five to seven individuals, and they are little or not at all elevated above the general
surface ; so that there are no conspicuous tubercles. The groups are placed about one line
apart.

C. pulchellus is very nearly related to C. Fletcheri, but the corallum is generally of a
larger habit and tends more to assume a flattened and sub-palmate form, whilst the large-
sized corajlites, instead of being indiscriminately mixed with those of average size, are aggre-
gated into distinct and quite conspicuous groups. It is an abundant and very characteristic
fossil of the Cincinnati group of Ohio; but I have not yet succeeded in satisfactorily identi-
fying it from the Hudson River group of Canada.

Ptilodictya acuta (McCoy), Brit. Pal, Foss. p. 45.

Polyzoary forming flattened stems, which branch dichotomously at angles of about 50°
and at intervals of four or five lines ; both the branches and stem having an average width of
one line, or a little more. Transverse section acutely elliptical, much flattened ; margins
sharp, apparently non-celluliferous and striated. Cell-mouths oval, with their long diameter
corresponding with the axis of the frond, arranged in longitudinal rows. The cells in con-
titiuous rows are opposite, or more commonly sub-alternate, about six occupying the space of
one line measured longitudinally, and about cij^ht occupying the same space, measured trans-
versely or diagonally. There are usually eight or ten rows of cells in the width of the frond.
This species (Fig. .3) is very abundant in the Trenton Limestone almost everywhere, and
it may be regarded as being the most characteristic Polyzoun of this formation.

16. Ptilodictya falciformis (Nicholson).

Fig. 2.

Polyzoary consisting of a single, unbranched, or slightly branched, elongated, narrow,
and two-edged frond, the form of which is falciform, and which expands from a pointed base
till it reaches a width of two lines, within a distance of less than half an inch above its origin.
The total length may exceed two inches, but the width rarely exceeds two and a half lines.
The transverse section is acutely elliptical, the thickness in the middle not exceeding half a
line ; and the flat faces of the frond are very gently curved, not angulated. The central axis
cannot, as a rule, be made out with certainty, though I have seen specimens in which this
structure is readily demonstrable. The edges of the frond are thin and sharp, when perfect,
longitudinally striated, and occasionally perforated by the apertures of minute and imperfect
cells. Both sides of the frond are celluliferous, the cells being apparently perpendicular to
the surface, and being arranged in intersecting diagonal lines, which cut one another at 60^
thus forming angles of about 30° with the sides of the frond. The mouths of the cells are
oval or somewhat diamond-shaped, their long axes coinciding with that of the frond, alter-
nately placed in contiguous rows, about eight in the space of one line measured diagonally,
and ten in the same space measured transversely, the outermost rows very slightly smaller
than the others. Walls of the cells moderately thick ; no surface-granulations, tubercles,
spines, or elevated lines. The mouths of the cells parallel with the general surface, neither
lip being especially prominent, and the plane of the aperture not being oblique.

As a general rule, the polyzoary (Fig. 2) is simple, unbranched, and falciform. I have
seen, however, in the fine collection of Mr. Dyer, of Cibcinnati, some specimens which bifur-
cate at the distal extremity, and at least one example in which the frond splits into three
divisions. I have also seen examples of what may ultimately prove to be a distinct species,
in which the width of the frond greatly exceeds the measurements given above,

Ptilodictya falcifm'rais is nearly allied to several previously recorded forms. The cells,
in their arrangement in intersecting diagonals of extreme regularity, closely resemble those of
Escharojpora recta (Hall), In the latter species, however, the frond is stated to be " cylindrical
or sub-cylindrical," whereas it is uniformly greatly flattened and acutely elliptical in P. fal-
ciformis. The edges, also, of P. falciformis are sharp and non-celluliferous, whilst the entire
frond is regularly curved and sabre-shaped, instead of being straight.

P. falciformis is readily distinguished from P. lanceolata (Goldfuss, Petref, PI, XXXVII.
Fig, 2) more especially by the disposition of the cells in regularly intersecting diagonals ;
whereas in the latter there is a central series of longitudinally arranged cells, flanked on each
side by diagonal rows of cells, directed in opposite directions like the barb of a feather.

With Ptilodictya gladiola, (Billings) [Cat. Sil. Foss. of Anticosti, p. 10,] the present,
species agrees in the shape of the frond ; but it is proportionately twice as wide, whilst the
cells of the former have rectangular or oblong mouths, and are disposed in regular longitudi-
nal lines.

Lastly, P. falcifonius is distinguished from P. sulcata (Billiags), [Cat. Sil. Foss, of Anti-
gosti, p. 35,] by the fact that the latter has nearly square cells with intervening sulci, and the
cells are arranged in longitudinal lines.

uncommon in the Cincinnati uroup of Ohio).

17. Ptilodictta fenestelliformis (Nicholson).

Iq my Report on the Fossil Corals of Ohio (in course of publication), I have described
a species of Ptilodidya from the Cincinnati group, under the name of P. fenestelliformis, with
the following characters :

" Polyzoary palmate or subpalmate towards the base, dividing distally into small
branches. Basal expansion and branches flattened and sharp-edged, the branches being
acutely elliptical in cross section, and about three-fourths of a line in thickness centrally.
Cells covering the whole surface on both sides, with the exception of the sharp lateral
margins, which are non-celluliferous, as well as certain non-poriferous areas, to be subsequently
noticed. The cells on the two aspects of the flattened frond respectively have their bases
separated by a thin laminar axis. The cells in the middle of the frond are about three eighths
of a line in height, gradually diminishing towards the margins. Cell mouths ovate, slightly
longer than broad, arranged in longitudinal rows, alternate or sub-alternate in contiguous rows,
about five cells in one line measured longitudinally, and six in the same space measured
diagonally. The longitudinal spaces between the rows of cells are broad and slightly elevated,
and are faintly striated longitudinally or obscurely punctate. On the other hand, the
spaces between the eiids of the cells are very much narrower ; and the surface thus closely
resembles that of a small Fenestella, the cell-mouths looking like 'fenestrules,' the longitu-
dinal interspaces between the cells representing the "interstices," and the narrow spaces be-
tween the ends of the cells corresponding with the " dissepiments." The only specimens ex-
amined exhibit numerous, apparently solid, rounded, or stellate areola, of an average
diameter of two thirds of a line, which are not occupied by cells, but exhibit an obscurely
pitted surface."

The specimens from which the above description was taken, were collected by Mr. U.
P. James from the Cincinnati group of Ohio, and were all portions of the frond close above the
base. Whilst showing the broken bases of the branches, none of them, therefore, exhibited
the actual branches themselves. I have obtained, however, from the Trenton Limestone a
number of specimens which I believe to be the branches of this form. They agree in all their
minute characters altogether with the above description ; but they are, naturally, more
flattened and of less thickness.

They have the form of thin expanded stems, varying from two and a half lines to nearly
six lines in width, and dividing at intervals of from four to six lines into two or three bran che
which have about the same diameter as the main stem. The cells have precisely the same,
form, arrangement, and " fenestelliform " appearance as in the above description ; and there
may be from fourteen to thirty or more rows in the width of the stem. The edges are sharp,
with a broad non-celluliferous margin. The frond invariably exhibits a greater or less num-
ber of the peculiar obscurely pitted solid areolae above noticed.

In the form and disposition of the rows of cells, this species approaches P. acuta (Hall),
and P. costellata (McCoy). It is, however, distinguished from both of these species by its
much larger dimensions, and by the conspicuous feature of the presence of solid areolae, simi-
lar in many respects to the well-known non-poriferous spaces which are seen in some species
of Chcetetes and Callopora. The present species appears also to be a much larger form than
P. elegantula (Hall), or P. fcnestrata (Hall), and to differ in other very important respects ;

14

but the descriptions of these last named species are not sufficient to allow of a minute com-
parison.

Locality and Formation. — Trenton Limestone, Peterborough, Trenton, Belleville

18. Clathropora (sp.).

The Trenton Limestone yields examples of a species of Clathropora apparently identical
with the fossil figured in the "Geology of Canada," p. 158, Fig, 122, under the name of
Goscinium proavium (Eichwald). I am unable at this moment to refer to Eichwald's descrip-
tion of this form ; but there is no doubt, but that it belongs to the genus described by Hall,
under the name of Clathropora. I have, however, previously expressed the opinion that the
genus Clathropora (Hall), will have to be abandoned, and that its members may be regarded
as nothing more than reticulated Ptilodictyce.

The present species occurs in the form of thin reticulated expansions, of which the
branches are about a line and a half wide, whilst the oval interspaces or fenestrules are about
one line in their long diameter. The margins of the perforations or fenestrules are non-cellu-
liferous, concentrically-striated and sharp-edged, and there are fourteen or fifteen ruws of
cells in each stem. The cells have oval mouths, arranged in diagonal lines, often with very
minute tubuli at their point of junction. The species is closely related to the forms of Clct-
thropora which occur ia the Niagara Limestone and Corniferous Formation,

Locality and Formation. — Trenton Limestone, Peterborough and Trenton.

• 19. Retepora Trentonensis (Nicholson).

(Plate II., Figs, 4—46),

Polyzoary forming a fan-shaped expansion, composed of slightly diverging branches,
which have a width of about one-third of a line. The branches are more or less sinuous in
their course, and divide dichotomously at short intervals, the branches usually uniting with
adjacent stems so as to form an open network, the fenestrules of which have an approximately
©val shape and are from one to two lines in length. The cells have the appearance of being
oblique to the surface, and there are from four to five rows of them in a branch. They are
also present upon the surfaces of junction of contiguous branches. The cell-mouths are of a
long-oval shape. The non-celluliferous side of the branches is very strongly striated with
wavy longitudinal striae or ridges.

This species is only known to me by several more or less imperfect specimens, from
which all the essential characters cannot be satisfactorily determined. It appears to be a
genuine Retepora and to be most nearly allied to R. Hisingeri (McCoy) ; but the fenestrules
of the latter species are much smaller and more regular in their dimensions, whilst the non-
poriferous side is minutely granular ; whereas in the present species the fenestrules are large
and irregular, and the non-poriferous side is strongly striated. The general shape of the frond
resembles some of the latter FenesteUce such as F. laxa, but it is clearly not referable to this
genus.

Casts of this fine species are quite common in various parts of the Trenton Limestone ;
but I have never been fortunate enough to discover a specimen in which the shell was pre-
served. The casts are readily distinguished from those of M. suhfusiformis, (Hall) by the
much smaller obliquity and the greater convexity of the whorls; and from those of Murchisonia
gracilis, (Hall), by their much greater size.

CHAPTER II.

Fossils of the Hudson River Formation.
Genus Favistella (Hall).

Corallum hemispheric or sub-globose, massive, aggregate, composed of prismatic or cylin-
drical corallites with imperforate walls, usually, but not always, firmly amalgamated with
one another ; septa well developed, lamellar, of unequal sizes, the primary ones extending
nearly or quite to the centre of the visceral chamber. No columella. Tabulae well developed,
complete.

The relations of the genus Favistella to the older genus Columnaria are so complicated
that it will be necessary to enter here upon a somewhat detailed discussion as to whether the
former name can be retained at all, and, if so, to what forms it must be restricted. The genus
Columnaria was originally founded by Goldfuss to include certain massive aggregate corals
which closely resemble Favosites in general appearance, but differ in having the septal system
better developed, whilst the walls of the corallites are not perforated by any mural pores.
The species originally referred by Goldfuss to Columnaria are distinctly stated to have septa
sufficiently developed to nearly, or quite, reach the centre of the corallites, and this fact is
clearly shown in most of the figures accompanying the text. Most of the authorities who
followed Goldfuss came, however, to the conclusion that some error had been committed by
Goldfuss, and that the septa in Columnaria were rudimentary and marginal. Hence the
name of Columnaria became gradually fixed upon a group of corals with small or rudimen-
tary septa, the type of the group being the form now generally known as Columnaria alrco-
lata by American and English observers. Under these circumstances the genus FavistefU
was proposed by Hall, (Pal, N. Y., Vol, I, p. 275, 1847,) for a Hudson River coral which
closely resembled Columnaria alveolata in general character, but differed in having the
septa extended nearly or quite to the centre of the visceral chamber, whilst the walls of the
corallites are inseparately united with one another. Subsequently, Milne Edwards and Jules
Haime pointed out that Columnaria alveolata, as originally described by Goldfuss, possessed
complete septa, and they therefore expressed the opinion that the genus Favistella should be
suppressed, and that Favistella stellata (Hall), should be regarded as a synonym of Colum-
naria alveolata (Goldfuss). Finally, Mi*. Billings, whilst retaining the name of Columnaria
alveolata for the coral regarded as such by Hall and McCoy (in which the septa are marginal),

21

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 8.) A. 1874

described other species of Columnaria in which the septa varied from a rudimentary to an
almost complete condition. •

As I shall shortly point out, there can be little doubt as to the complete identity of
Hall's Favistella siellata with the Columnaria alveolata of Goldfuss ; and there can, therefore,
be no doubt that the strict law of priority would demand the abandonment of the former in
favour of the latter, both generically aild specifically. In the meanwhile, however, the name of
Columnaria alveolata has become firmly attached to a familiar Trenton Limestone coral, which
possesses rudimentary septa ; and hence it has come to pass that an imperfect condition of the
septa has generally been regarded as one of the most important characters of the genus Colum-
naria. It would, therefore, cause great confusion to apply the law of priority in this instance,
and there are three courses open to us under the circumstances : —

1. We may, as strict justice demands, consider Columnaria and Favistella as synonymous
and adopt the definition of the former laid down by Goldfuss. This course, though unques-
tionably the proper one, would be attended wit'i the grave inconvenience that another and a
new genus would probably have to be created for the corals which have usually been regarded
as the typical Columnarice.

2. We may adopt the genus Columnaria as re-defined by McCoy and Hall, restricting it to
*orms with rudimentary septa, whilst we may retain the genus Favistella of Hall for the
forms with complete septa. This course would cause less confusion than any other, though
it certainly would not be compatible with strict justice.

3. We may consider that the development of the septa is not a character of itself suffi
ciently important to justify generic separation, though repeatedly employed for this purpose.
In this case, the genus Columnaria would simply have to be expanded, so as to receive both
the original forms described by Goldfuss with complete septa, and the later ones described
by Hall, McCoy, and Billings with marginal septa. In this case, also, Favistella would
simply be merged in Columnaria, or it might be retained as a sub-genus for the reception of
the forms with a complete septal apparatus. For my own part, I am disposed to think that
this course would probably be the best, but I shall in the meanwhile retain the genus Faris-
tella as distinct from Columnaria, and shall adopt for it the definition given by Hall. If,
however, this last course'be adopted, then the following forms will have to stand as Columnaria
siellata and Columnaria calicina.

49. Favistella stellata (Hall).

Favistella stellata (Hall) Pal. N. Y. Vol. I. PI. LXXV. Figs, la, If.

Corallum sub-hemispheric or pyriform, massive. Corallites prismatic, usually hexagonal
or pentagonal, from rather more than one line to two lines in diameter, completely amalga
mated with one another by theirwalls. Septa unequally developed, alternately large and small ;
the large ones fifteen, Isometimes fourteen, in number, reaching to the centre of the corallites
or nearly so. The smaller septa marginal and rudimentary. The total number of septa is
thus from twenty-eight to thirty. Tabulae well developed and complete, about three in the
space of one line. No columella. Increase by fissiparous development of the old tubes.

According to Hall there are usually twelve septa, more or less, in this species ; but in
this enumeration he has evidently counted the lir*er septa only, and has disregarded the
Bmaller ones. The number of the primary septa, however, appears to be almost always fifteen,

22

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 8.) A. 1874

and the rudimentary secondary septa alternate with the former, and are therefore the same in
number. In this respect the Canadian specimens which I have examined appear to agree
altogether with those from Ohio.

Favistella stellata (Hall) attains a large size, and is one of the most conspicuous corals
of the Hudson River group of North America. Whilst its specific distinctness is beyond ques-
tion, and its specific characters are most readily recognisable, there is, nevertheless, consider-
able doubt as to the name which it ought properly to bear. Milne Edwards and Haime, in
their great work on the Palaeozoic Corals, regard Favistella stellata (Hall) as identical with
Columnaria alveolata (Goldfuss), and in this they are almost certainly right. As we have
already seen, the name of Columnaria was originally given by Goldfuss to a group of corals
with a complete septal system. In spite, however, of the clearness with which this fact was
brought out in the descriptions and figures of the German observer, McCoy and most subse-
quent palaeontologists insisted that this was an error, and that the septa in the genus Colum-
naria were marginal and rudimentary ; and this view has been generally adopted. The result
of this has been that a very abundant Trenton Limestone coral, which possesses merely rudi-
mentary septa, has been universally recognised by American palaeontologists as Columnaria
alveolata (Goldfuss), and has been generally accepted as the type of the genus Columnaria.

It is quite certain, however, that the Trenton Limestone coral just alluded to is not the
form described originally by Goldfuss, and carefully figured by himunder the name of Colum-
naria alveolata (Petrof Germ. PI. XXIV. Fig. 7). On the contrary, the latter is almost cer-
tainly identical with the coral subsequently described by Hall under the name of Favistella
stellata. This is rendered the more certain by the fact that the specimens of Columnaria
alveolata described by Goldfuss are said to come from the shores of Seneca Lake, in the State
of New York, where the Lower Silurian rocks do not occur in place ; so that they must have
been derived from a travelled boulder. This also would harmonize with the assertion of
Edwards and Haime, that Columnaria alveolata (Gold.) and Favistella stellata (Hall) are one
and the same coral.

Whilst fully believing that these two corals, as described by their original discoverers, are
identical, it nevertheless remains certain that the corals now recognised universally in America
as Columnaria alveolata and Favistella stellata are entirely distinct from one another, specifically
if not generically. It remains, therefore, to consider what course is to be adofted in practice
as to the nomenclature of these forms. If the strict law of priority, with its utmost rigour,
is to be carried out, then Ihe name of Favistella stellata must be abandoned ; the coral now
known by this name must be called Columnaria alveolata (Goldfuss) ; and the coral to which
this latter title has been generally applied will Tiave to be baptised by some quite new name.
As to the strict justice of this proceeding there can be little doubt ; and those who attach
great importance to the rigid enforcement of the law of priority will doubtless carry this pro-
ceeding into actual practice. For my own part, I think less confusion would be caused by
the adoption of another, if less strictly regular, course. The name of Columnaria ah^eolafa has
now by general consent become attached to an abundant and well-known coral from the Tren-
ton Limestone. To abandon this arrangement would be productive of much confusion : and
I would therefore leave this coral in possession of this name, although it is the Columnaria
alveolata of McCoy and Hall, and not of Goldfuss. On the other hand, the coral described
by Hall from the later formation of the Hudson River group under the name of Favistella

stellata, though almost certainly identical with the original Columvaria olveolafa of Goldfuss,
may be allowed to retain its specific name ; and it may be left in the meanwhile an open ques-
tion whether it should be called Favistella stellata or Columnaria stellata.

With regard to the species of Favistella, now for the first time described as F. calicina,
the present form is distinguished by its much larger size, the prismatic form and complete
amalgamation of the corallites, and the increase of the corallum by fission of the tubes.

Favistella calicina (S'lchohon). Brit. Assoc. Report, Belfast, 1874.

Corallum, sub-hemispheric or pyriform, not attaining a large size. Corallites more or
less cylindrical, rarely prismatic, in shape ; from less than one to two lines in diameter, averaging
about one and a half lines. The corallites are never completely amalgamated by their walls,
and are rarely in direct and actual contact throughout their entire height. Each corallite, on
the other hand, is enveloped in a complete and separate epitheca, and as they diverge from the
base, they are generally separated by more or less conspicuous intervals as their calices are

approached. Epi-

number altogether, the primary ones being continued over the upper surfaces of the tabulae
to near the centre of the corallites. whilst the secondary ones are marginal and rudimen-
tary. Tabulae well developed and complete, about three in the space of one line. Increase
by calicular gemmation, combined with parietal budding.

This pretty little species is very distinct. from F. stellata (Hall), from which it may be
readily .separated by the following characters : — 1. It is much more diminutive in average size
than F. stellata, its colonies rarely exceeding three inches in diameter and two inches in height,
a-!.- being often much smaller than this. 2. The corallites are comparatively lax and dis-
crete in their mode of growth. Rarely they may be more or less contiguous and prismatic in
form. More usually, they are cylindrical or sub-cylindrical, and, as they radiate from the base,
become more or less widely separated towards their terminations. Hence, the surface of a
mass of F. calicina often presents an appearance similar to the convolutions of the human
cerebrum or to a colony of Fasricnhiria. ?,. The corallites are never compiletely amalgamated
by their walls, but each on the contrary, is enclosed on a strong and very distinct epitheca, which
carries powerful vertical ridge and fine encircling striae. 4. The increase of thecolonv is effected

24

by means of calicular gemmation, with or without lateral budding, and not by means of fis-
sion of the old tubes.

If the genus Favistella, in accordance with the remarks laid down in treating of F. steh
lata, be subsequently abandoned, then this species will t;ike the name of Columnaria calicina

Locality and Formation. — Very abundant in the Hudson River group, Credit River.

Genus Colimnopora (Nicholson).

Corallum aggregate, massive, composed of hexagonal corallites, which have distinct walls,
but are firmly united with one another. Septa well developed and close set, but
short and not nearly extending to the centre of the visceral chamber. A row of large and
closely approximated mural pores between each pair of septa. Tabulae horizontal, not vesicu-
lar or infundibuliform, complete. Epitheca unknown. No coenenchyma, nor columella.

I have established this genus for the reception of some beautiful corals from the Hudson
River group of Canada and the correspondiag formation (Cincinnati group) of Ohio. The
genus in most respects may be regarded as intermediate between Favosites and Columnaria,
agreeing with both in the general form of the corallum, the prismatic closely-approximated
corallites, and the absence of any crenenchyn a. Columnopora further resembles Favosites in
possessing mural pores, but it is distinguished by its distinct and comparatively well-developed
septal system, and by the fact that the mural pores are arranged in very numerous rows
and are of very large size, so that the walls of the corallites have a regularly cribriform
aspect. With Columnaria., as this genus is usually understood, Columnopora agv^QS in possess-
ing distinct septa, but is fundamentally distinguished|by the perforated walls of the corallites.
Lastly, Columnopora is distinguished from Favistella, not only|by the possession of mural pores,
but also by the much less developed condition of the septa. The following is the only species
of the genus which has as yet been noticed.

.51. Columnopora cribriformis (Nicholson).

(Ref. Geological Magazine, June, 1874.)

Corallites mostly hexagonal or pentagonal in shape, averaging about one line and
a half in diameter, sometimes more or less. Septa in the form of strong vertical ridges,
from twenty to twenty-four in number, equally developed, and never reaching the centre or
extending more than quite a short distance into the interior of the corallite. Between each
pair of septa is a row of large circular or oval mural pores, so that there are from twenty to
twenty -four rows of these openings in each corallite, generally four rows on each face. Not
only are the rows very numerous, but the pores are extraordinarily large, and are placed close
together, about three of them occupying the space of one line measured either vertically or
transversely. The walls of the corallites thus assume a completely cribriform appearance,
looking as if composed of a series of vertical pillars (the septa), united by horizontal cross-
bars. Tabulae, in perfect specimens, complete, from three to four in the space of one line.

Superficially this coral is very like that usually regarded as Columnaria alvcolata {Go\d>.-
fuss), both as regards the general form of the corallites. and the dimensions and characters
of the septa. It is, however, at once distinguished by the mural pores. From all the mas
sive species of Favosites, the present form is distinguished by the well-marked septa, and
the large size, great number, and close approximation of the pores. From Favistella stellata.

26

38 Victotia. Sessional Papers (No. 8.) A. 1874

it is separated by its comparatively rudimentary septa and perforated walls. Lastly, from
Michdinia, it is distinguished by not having vesicular tabulae, by the larger and more closely
set mural pores, and the much better developed septal system.

In the specimens which originally came under my notice, the tabulae were incomplete,
and nothing was left of them except their bases. A similar state of things is quite common
in Favosites and Columnaria, and I surmised at the time that this was merely accidental and
due to the condition of preservation. I have now obtained specimens from Ohio which fully
confirm this surmise, and which show that the tabulae of this form were really complete and in
all respects well-developed.

Locality cnid formation. — Rare in the Hudson River group. River Credit (discovered by
Mr. George Jennings Hinde). Not very uncommon in the Cincinnati group, south-western

Ohio.

Gemts Streptelasma (Hall).

Corallum simple, turbinate, free; epitheca well developed. Septa well developed, twisted
and united with one another towards the centre of the visceral chamber, where they often
form a kind of vesicular tissue. No columella, nor dissepiments. Tabulae remote, irregular,
and poorly developed. A single septal fossette.

This genus stands on a somewhat dubious position, but I see at present no other option but
to retain it, if S. cwniculura (Hall) is to be taken as a type of the genus. The badly charac-
terised genus Petraia (Munst), is said to have no tabulae; otherwise Streptdasma would cer-
tainly have to be regarded as a synonym of this ; as has been proposed by McCoy and Billings.
On the other hand, Milne Edwards and Haime declare (Brit. Foss. Cor. Introduction, p.
xviii.) that Streptelasma is characterised by the fact that the wall is " destitute of an epi-
theca and covered by sublamellar costae." This statement I am unable to comprehend, as all
the specimens of Streptelasma corniculum which have come under my notice, have the epitheca
remarkably well developed, except when they have been much weathered. Lastly, from
Ci/athophi/llum proper, the genus Streptelasma is distinguished solely by tbe total absence of
dissepiments and the comparatively rudimentary condition of the tabulae.

Corallum conical, slightly curved or nearly straight, averaging from one to four inches in
length, and from ten to eighteen lines in diameter. Septa numerous, from ninety to one
hundred and sixty in number, alternately large and small. The small septa rarely extend
much beyond the margin ; but the large ones extend to the centre, in approaching which
they become more or less twisted and unite with one another, in such a manner as sometimes
to produce a central mass of vesicular tissue. Calice moderately deep. Septa very thick,
and often appearing as if composed of two coalescent lamellae. Tabulae remote and irregular,
often elevated towards the centre of the coral. No dissepiments. A single septal fossette,
usually placed on the curved side of the coral. Epitheca exhibiting longitudinal ridges cor

reponding with the septa, but otherwise smooth, or, rarely, with a few encirling shallow folds of
growth.

This species, if I have rightly referred to it all the specimens here placed, is very variable
as regards its size, the amount of curvature, and the number of the septa. The following are
the dimensions of a number of apparently typical examples : —

1. Length four inches ; diameter at summit nearly one inch and a half. Septa one
hundred and sixty in number, alternately large and small. This is the largest specimen ob-
served by me, but it is imperfect above.

2. Length over three inches ; diameter at summit fourteen lines ; septa one hundred and
twenty-six, alternately large and small.

3. Length one inch and a half ; diameter at summit fourteen lines. Septa one hundred
and twenty-six, alternately large and small. The specimen is broken above.

4. Length one inch and a half ; diameter at summit ten lines. Septa one hundred and
fourteen alternately larger and smaller. This is a less broadly expanding example than the
preceding.

5. Length one inch ; diameter at summit nine lines. Septa ninety -six, alternately large
and small.

6. Length fourteen lines ; diameter at summit nine lines. Septa ninety, alternately large
and small.

7. Length six lines ; diameter at summit four and a half lines. Septa thirty, all equal
and large sized. I do not feel at all sure whether this last specimen is the young of IS.
corniculum or a distinct species. It appears to be the S. pai-vula of Hall.

The above measurements are taken from specimens collected in the Cincinnati
group of Ohio, and all the Canadian examples that I have seen are of comparatively small
size, averaging about one inch and a h;ilf in length.

The average number of the septa in a typical example would seem to be about one hun-
dred and twenty. Hall gives the number at sixty, but he, probably, in this enumeration, ne-
glected the small and rudimentary septa which alternate with the large ones. Hall gives,
however, one hundred and twenty septa as the number in his S. multilamellosa, which would
appear to be identical with S. cormcuhmi.

Locality and Formation. — Hudson River group, M anitouwaning, Georgian Bay.

Genus Tetradium (Dana).

" Coralla massive, consisting of four-sided tubes and cells with very thin septa or parietes :
cells stellate, with four narrow laminae."

" This genus is near Receptaculites, but diflfers in having very thin parietes, and four
distinct rays between the cells, one to each side. The specimen answering to the description
is a fossil of uncertain locality in the collections of Yale College, New Haven. The cells are
about half a line in breadth." (Dana, Zooph. vol. VIII., p. 701, 1846).

To this description, Prof J. M. Safford (Amer. Journ. Sci. and Arts, 2nd Series, vol.
XXII. , p. 2.36, 1856) adds the following : — " The tubes in the dififerent species vary from \
line to nearly one line in breadth ; they are very long and are m ist frequently united throughout
laterally, forming massive coralla, resembling more or less those of Favosites or Chcetetes ; some-
times, however, they are united in single intersecting series, as in Halysifes catenulo.ta (Linn.);

27

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 8.) A. 1874

not unfrequently, too, the tubes are isolated, or only united at irregular intervals, thus form-
ing loose fasciculated coralla resembling certain forms of Syringopor a.'' Safford further states
that isolated tubes are nearly quadrangular, with more or less rounded edges, and a slight ex"
ternal longitudinal depression opposite to each of the septa. The walls are more or less
rugose ; and increase is by fission of the old tubes. Only one specimen was seen in which
tran verse septa (tabulfe) were recognised, and these were confined to one end of the mass v nd
distant about twice the breadth of the tubes. Prof Safi'ord regards the genus as intermedi-
ate between the Favositidae and the Rugosa, the quadripartite character of the septa sufficing
to place it in the latter group. Four species of the genus were described.

Upon the whole, Safford's views as to the nature of this curious genus, and its intimate
structure can be safely accepted. The existence of tabulae, however, in the specimens which
I have examined, so far from being exceptional or difficult to demonstrate, could almost in-
variably be made out with the utmost ease. The genus is most nearly allied to Chmtetes,
(Fischer,) but differs in its possession of four septa, and in the somewhat petaloid shape of the
corallites as seen in transverse section. Tetradmm fihratum has been enumerated from the
Trenton Limestone of Canada (Fillings, " Geology of Canada," p. 139, fig. 71); but I have
not been able to identify it with complete certainty. In the Hudson River group of Ontario,
however, there occurs very abundantly a species of Tetradium, which I have identified with
T. minus (Sjifford).

53. Tetradium minus (Safford).

Tetradium mm?^s (Safford), Amer. Journ. Sci. and Arts, 2nd Series, vol. XXII., p. 238.

Corallum massive, hemispheric, or amorphous, composed of slender, closely approximated
tubes, which diverge from the base, or from an imaginary axis. Corallites of great length,
sometimes exceeding three inches, with a width of from one-third to one-fourth line ; their
walls tolerably thick, and their shape irregularly four-sided or five-sided. The septa are badly
preserved, and can only be occasionally detected ; they vary in number from one to four.
Tabulae very well preserved, remote, complete, from three to five occupying the space of one
line.

I shfiuld think it questionable if the specimens from which the above description is taken,
are really distinct from T. fibratum ; but I have thought it best to keep them separate in the
meanwhile, since they agree with T. minus (Safford), and differ from the former species, in the
small size of the corallites, of which three or four occupy the space of one line. They also
differ from T. fihratum, as described by Safford, in the greater closeness of tabulae, these struc"
tures being generally quite readily recognisable. On the other hand, the peculiar septa of the
genus can only be occasionally detected, and the corallites in polished transverse sections ap-
pear rhomboidal, rounded, reniform, shaped like a trefoil-leaf, or sometimes shaped like a
flower with four petals.

Locality and Formation. — Abundant and attaining a large size iu the Hudson River

group of the River Credit, and at Manitouwaning. Also in the Cincinnati group of Cincin_

nati, Ohio.

Genus ChtETetes (Fischer).

Corallum varying very much in form, but always aggregate, and composed of prismatic
basaltiform corallites, sometimes more or loss cylindroidal. Wall imperforate ; tabulae nume-
rous and well developed. Septa absent or rudimentarv.

The genus Chcetetes was originally founded on an error, since Fischer believed it to dif-
fer from Favosites in the absence of tabulae, which is not the case. Lonsdale (Geology of
Russia, Vol. I., Appendix A.), pointed out that this was a mistake, and expressed the opinion
that Chcetetes might be separated from Favosites by the absence of mural pores, and by the fact
that the walls of the corallites are inseparably united, so that fractures expose the interior of
the corallites. This last-mentioned phenomenon is due to the fact that in Chcetetes radians, the
type-species of the genus, the young corallites are produced fissiparously by the subdivision
of the parent tubes ; whereas in Favosites the new corallites are produced by gemmation
from the sides of the old ones. Later observers, however, included under the head of
Chcetetes, various corals in which the increase was by gemmation, as in Favosites, and in which
a rough fracture exposed the exterior of the tubes. To remedy this, D'Orbigny (Prodrome de
Paleont, Vol. I., p. 25) proposed to separate from Chcetetes these forms in which the increase
was by gemmation, and to constitute for their reception a new genus for which he proposed
the name of Monticulipora. The confusion thus caused was further increased by the fact
that Lonsdale had previously founded a genus which he termed Stenojpora, in which the coral-
lum was in all essential respects similar tcf that of Chcetetes, but in which the increase was
effected by gemmation. Without entering further into this complicated question, I may simply
state that it appears to me to be advisable to re-unite the genus Chcetetes and Monticulipora,
abandoning the name of the latter altogether. At the same time, without pronouncing any
opinion as to the affinities of the coral upon which Lonsdale originally founded his genus
Stenopora, it appears to me that the forms which have been referred to this genus by later
palaeontologists can not be separated from Chcetetes (including Monticulipora under this head).
Finally, the genus Nebulipora (McCoy) is to be regarded as a synonym of Chcetetes as above
defined.

The species Chcetetes may be roughly divided into four groups : — L Ramose forras — In
j.hese the corallum is ramose or dendroid, the corallites of the branches springing in a radiat-
ing manner from an imaginary axis. The corallum is usually rooted at the base (in C.
briareus, JSich., it is apparently free), and the extremities of the branches are rounded. Some
of the forms of this group are slender, others are more or less swollen and tumid ; and these
latter seem to constitute a transition into certain lobate forms, which may be variously
regarded as the last term of the ramose series or the first term of the massive
series.

Frondescent Species : — In these, the corallum forms a flattened or undulating expansion,
often sub-palmate or palmate, and composed primitively of two layers of corallites, the bases of
which are in contact, and which are directed in opposite directions from a common calcareous
membrane. The corallum is rooted at the base, with which exception the entire surface on both
sides is both covered by the calices. In old examples, additional strata of corallites appear to
be superimposed upon the two primitive layers, in some instances at any rate, and the coral-
lum thus passes into the massive form.

3. Massive Species. — Corallum free or fixed, massive, discoidal, hemispherical, spherical,
or irregular in shape. The typical forms of this group have the inferior surface of the cor-
allum more or less concave, and covered with a concentrically striated epitheca, and these
forms must have lived a free existence. Others are fixed by their basis to some solid object,
and the mode of life of other examples is unknown. The massive species of Cluetetes pass ou

29

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 8.) A. 1874

the one hand, by almost invisible gradations, into the ramose, and on the other hand, they
show a well-marked transition into the frondescent group.

4. Encrusting Species. — In these the corallum is parasitic, -and forms a thin crust
usually consisting of a single stratum of corallites, growing upon various foreign objects, such as
the epitheca of corals or the shells of Brachiopods. In this group the corallites are excessively
short, whereas in general they have a length considerably exceeding their diameter.

Species of Ghcpietes are extraordinarily abundant in the Lower Silurian Rocks of North
America, apparently attaining their maximum in the Cincinnati group. In the Hudson
River group of Canada, of the corresponding age, the number of species hitherto detected is
not so large, but the number of individuals is very great.

Corallum ramose ; branches cylindrical or sub-cylindrical, dividing dichotomously, usually
at somewhat remote intervals, often irregularly swollen here and there, from one and a half
to three lines in diameter. Corallites with moderately thick walls, unequally sized, the aver-
age ones being about eight in the space of one line. Interspersed with the ordinary corallites,
in well-preserved specimens, are others of exceedingly minute size. Surface smooth, destitute
of tubercles, but occasionally showing groups of corallites very slightly larger than the
average.

This species is very closely allied to C. pidchellus (Edw. & H.), but differs in not having
distinct groups of corallites of a much larger size than the average. It is the most common
and characteristic form of the Hudson River group of Canada, When it occurs in some
beds of this formation it very readily weathers out, leaving a series of sinuous and intersecting
tubes in the rock, which, unless closely examined, might very readily be mistaken for the
burrows of worms.

55. CHiETETES DELICATULUS (Nicholson).

Chcetetes delicatulus (Nicholson), Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc. Lond., Vol. XXX., PI.
XXIX., Figs. 8—86.

Corallum very slender and delicate, ramose, of cylindrical branches terminating in
rounded and sometimes swollen extremities, and occasionally seeming to spring from a hori-
zon lai footstalk. Stems sometimes simple, more commonly dichotomously branched at acute
angles, from one quarter of a line to half a line in diameter, rarely reaching two-thirds of a
line. Corallites very oblique to the surface, opening by oval apertures, the length of which
corresponds with the axis of the stem and exceeds the breadth. Calicos arranged in diagonal

30

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 8.) A. 1874

rows, about eight ia one line measured longitudinally, and twelve or fourteen in the same
space measured transversely or diagonally. When perfect, the lower lip of the calice is thin
and prominent. The cells are all of equal size, without minute intermediate tubnli, and the
surface is destitute of monticules.

This is one of the commonest fossils of the Hudson River group both in Canada and the
United States. It is probably identical with one of the forms figured by Hall, from the Trenton
Limestone under the name of Chcetetes lycoperdon (Piil. N. Y., Vol. I, Pi. XXIV, fig. 1 k,
caet, excl.). It is also, I think, certainly, one of the forms which has usually been quoted as
Stenofora fibrosa (Goldfuss), It is readily recognised by its slender habit, uniformly sized
calices, and oblique corallites.

" Corallum in general free ; its basal plate flat or concave and completely covered with a con-
centrically wrinkled epitheca. Upper surface regularly convex, in general hemispherical ana
presenting obtuse tuberosities, about one line broad and varying much in height. In some speci-
mens these tuberosities appear to have been worn away, and their existence is indicated only
by the presence of small groups of large calices with thick walls ; the calices are rather
unequal in size, generally polygonal, sometimes almost circular ; the largest are about cne-
fifth of a line in diameter; the walls are not perforated ; the tabulae are horizontal, complete,
and placed at about one-twelfth of a line from each other. Some vestiges of septa are often
visible. Y^oung specimens are flat and discoidal."' (Edwards and Haimt.)

The Trenton and Hudson River formation;--, but more erfpucially the former, yield a ^reai
many examples which correspond with the above description in essential characters, some alto-
gether so, others with more or less striking variations. In external form this species is pro-
tean,being more or less discoidal when young, but being, when adult, sub-spherical, hemispheri-
cal, sub-pyriform, lobate, mushroom-shaped, or not uncommonly of the shape of a cardinal's

31

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 8.) A. 1874

hat. The surface is sometimes mammillated with obscure and blunt tuberosities or eleva-
tions of variable height and form ; but quite commonly it is perfectly smooth. As a rule, no
definite groups of large sized corallites can be recognised, and in all the typical specimens,
which I have examined, the calices are polygonal or sub-polygonal, generally from eight to
ten in the space of one line, and without any very minute intermediate tubuli.

Typical examples of C. petropolitanus can be recognised without difficulty by their con-
cave under-surface (showing that the coral was free), concentrically-situated epitheca, and
rounded and more or less elevated upper surface. Wft have, however, to bear in mind the
following points : —

1. The very common corals of the Hudson River group of Canada which have gener-
ally been referred to as the " puff-ball variety " of Stenopora fibrosa, only occasionally exhibit
the typical characters of Chcetetes petropolitanus. Most commonly (PI. IV, Figs. 2 — 2a) they do
not exhibit a concave base covered with an epitheca, but on the contrary are more or less spher-
oidal in shape, and are composed of corallites radiating in all direction from a central point.
In other cases, they are certainly not free, but can be shown to have grown parasitically upon
the column of a Crinoid, which passes through their centre.

2. The Cincinnati group of Ohio yields a number of forms which agree, in most respects
with C. petropolitanus. but which were attached to the exterior of Brachiopods and other
ibreign bodies. These forms have, therefore, no concave base or concentrically wrinkled
epitheca, but have the form of hemispherical, sub-spherical, or nodulated masses, usually of
iuconsiderable size.

3. To the genus Lichenalia of the Lower and Upper Silurian have bjen often referred
the concentrically striated epithecae of this and allied species of Chcetetes ; the epitheca being
commonly thin enough to allow of the ba.ses of the superjacent corallites being seen through
it.

Locality and Formation. — Common in the Hudson River group of Toronto, Weston,
Credit River, Georgian Bay, &c. Also, in the Trenton Limestone.

57. Cn^ TETES DiscoiDEUs (James).

Chcetetes discoideus (James), Catalogue of the Lower Silurian Fossils of the Cincinnati
(Jroup, 1871. (Named, but not figured or described).

Chcetetes discoideus (Nicholson), Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc, Vol. XXX. PI. XXX, Figs.
4— id.

Corallum discoid, concavo-convex, sharp-edged, from five to eight lines in diameter, and
from one to nearly two lines in its greatest thickness. Under surface concave, covered with
a thin, smooth, or slightly wrinkled epitheca, which in general is so thin as to reveal clearly
through its substance the bases of the overlying corallites. Upper surface gently convex, not
exhibiting any tubercles or elevations of any kind. Corallites sub-equal ; calices with
moderately thin walls, polygonal, about eight or ten in the space of one line. No groups of
larger corallites, nor any very minute intermediate tubuli.

I do not feel certain that this form is distinct from the young of C. petropolitanus ; but
it differs in some points of importance, and it is at the same time both of common occuiTence
and very constant in its shape and dimensions. I think it is, therefore, safest to describe it
under a separate title. Apart from its discoidal plano-convex form, it is distinguished by

32

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 8.) A. 1874

its great comparative tenuity with the resulting shortness of the corallites, the sharp thin
edges of the disc, the evenly and gently curved upper surface, the absence of surftice-monti-
cules or groups of large-sized corallites, and the thinness and smoothness of the epitheca.
The corallum, of course, must have been free in habit. It is very closely allied to Chcetetes
{Nebulipora) lens (McCoy), with which I should have considered it to be identical, except for
the fact that the latter species is described as possessing distinct groups of larae-sized
corallites.

Locality and Formation. — Not uncommon in the Hudson River Group at Weston. Also
in the Cincinnati Group of Ohio.

.58 CH.a;TETES UNDULATUS (Nichol.SOn).

The lobate and sub-m;issive form of C/mtetes, which I have briefly noted in speaking of
the corals of the Trenton Formation under the provisional name of Chcetetes uniidatus, is
far from uncommon in the Hudson River Group. Whether it is really a distinct species, or
a lobed and fixed form of C. petropolitanus (which I think very unlikely), or a sub-massive
variety of one of the ramose species, the materials in my hands do not allow me to decide.

" Polyzoum small and delicate, consisting of slender compressed divisions that give off
on each side rather closely arranged, regularly alternating, lateral branches of the same
breadth as the main stems, from which they diverge at an angle of about forty degrees ;
lateral branches, in the same way, giving off on each side, very short, lobe-like, alternating
projections ; flattened lateral margins of all parts very narrow, sharp, and minutely striated
longitudinally, in well-preserved specimens ; pores apparently without raised margins, more or
less oval longitudinally, alternately disposed in longitudinal and oblique rows, so as to present a
quincuncial arrangement ; the number of longitudinal rows varying from five to about seven
in the breadth of a stem or branch ; spaces between the pores, measuring transversely to the
stems and their divisions, about equal to the breadth of the pores, but greater, mea-uring in
the direction of the oblique and longitudinal rows, all ornamented, in perfectly preserved
specimens, by very minute more or less waved or flexuous strite.'" (Meek).

Breadth of stems and branches from one twentieth of an inch to nearly one line. Cells
about six or seven in one line measured longitudinally, and eight to ten in the same space
measured obliquely.

This species is readily recognised by its mode of growth, the remote cells, and the
beautifully striated intercellular spaces. Though not previously recorded from Canada, I
have detected it in considerable numbers in the Hudson River beds of the River Credit.
It is a well known species from the Cincinnati Group of Ohio.

the typical Diplograpsi, in having the cell-mouth nearly parallel with the axis, instead of

outer portion of the cell, both above and below. From Diplograpsus mucronatus (Hall), the
present species is distinguished by the fact, that the extremity of the cellule is broad and
obtuse, with a short and straight spine attached to its lower border ; whereas in the former
species, the extremity of the cellule is drawn out into a fine tapering point, to which a deli-
cate wavy spine is fixed.

The Utica shales of Whitby and Collingwood very commmonly yield a species of OrfJio-
ceras, which may be provisionally referred to the Tprotean Endoceras prof ei forme of Hall. var.
tenuistriatum. The specimens in question are usually of a pointed triangular form, some-
times acutely so, sometimes with the lateral margins more nearly parallel. They are all
extremely delicate in texture, as shown by the presence of a longitudinal depression, indicat-
ing where the shell has given way to pressure ; and all are marked with fine encirclins: striae,
without any evident longitudinal striae. The pointed examples might easily be referred to
the genus Theca ; but their Cephalopodous nature is rendered certain by the presence of dis-
tinct septa, which are placed about one and a half lines apart. It must be admitted, how-
ever, that these septa cannot by any means universally be recognized, though their existence
in some examples is clear enough.

CHAPTER IV.

FOSSILS OF THE CLINTON FORMATION.

The fossils of the Clinton, Niagara, and Guelph formations constituted the subject of a
joint memoir by Mr. George Jenning.s Hinde and myself, which was published in the Cana-
dian Jaurnal in the early part of 1874. With regard to the Guelph formation, in particular,
I am now able to add a considerable amount of fresh information, derived partly from addi-
tional researches of my own on the spot, and partly from materials kindly placed in my hands
by Mr. James Boyle, of the Public School of Elora, and Mr. John Wilkie, of Guelph ; but
with regard to the other formations in question, I shall freely avail myself of the memoir
above referred to. As in so many other instances, my leisure has not allowed me, in the case
of well known fossils, to do more than simply quote the same along with a leading reference ;
but the more uncommon forms are noted at greater length.

Specimens, in all essential respects identical with the obscure fossils figured by Hall
under this name, are far from uncommon in the Clinton Group. They are chiefly referable
to the forms described under the titles of var. internted.ia and var. crasso, and present them-
selves as branching flexuous bodie?, sometimes in the form of hollow moulds or casts, at other
times in the form of flattened impression?, differing in colour and texture from the matrix in
which they occur. That the^e enigmatical bodies branch, after a more or less regular fashion,
is indubitable, and it does not appear possible that they should have been produced by Anne-
lides or other marine animal?. If they are plants, however, their aflSnities are doubtful, and
their mode of preservation very obscure.

Burrows of Scolithus certicalis. (Hall), of the natural size, Clinton Formation.

This species is founded upon vertical circular tubes, sometimes slightly curved, which
penetrate the strata more or less in a perpendicular direction, and which open on the surfaces
of the laminae of deposition by regular rounded apertures. The average diameter of the
burrows is about one line, and their vertical extent is unknown. Often they are hollow; at
other times they are more or less filled up with loose peroxide of iron ; or they may be com-
pletely filled up with sediment, when they present themselves as smooth, rounded or cylindrical,
vertical stems. That they are truly Annelide burrows can hardly be doubted. They differ
from Scolithus linearis, Hall, in their s^maller dimensions, and from S. Canadensis, Billings,
in not having an expanded aperture, and in apparently not being curved towards their lower
ends. The species is recorded by Hall from the thick-bedded sandstones of the Medina
Group, of Monroe County, State of New York ; but our examples are from a higher horizon.

England. The mouths of the burrows vary
from half a line to rather more than a line in diameter, and they are usually placed about

Annelides of the Older Palaeozoic Rocks ; Abstract. Proceedings of the Royal Society. No.
144, 1873.) for a groupof fossils of constant occurrence i*) the sandy and shaly sediments of
the Palaeozoic Rocks, and consisting of the filled-up burrows of marine x\nnelides, more or
less nearly allied to the existing lob-worms. These burrows are not vertical as in ScoUfhus,
Eistiodermia, Arenicolites and the like, but they are irregular in their course and direction,
sometimes being more or less horizontal, then running obliquely, and then perhaps taking a
vertical direction for a space. The actual burrows themselves are not now preserved to us,
but we have in their stead the fillings of the burrows, consisting, in general, if not univer-
sally, of the sand and silt which has actually been passed by the worm through its alimentary
canal. The fossils referred to Planolites consist, therefore, of casts of the burrows of
marine worms formed by the ejects of the animal, and they appear usually in the
form of cylindrical or flattened stem-like bodies, which are often more or less matted together,
and which may cross one another in every imaginable direction. From the filled-up burrows
of Scolithus (which have actually been '' burrows of habitation ''). the burrows of rianoUtes are
readily distinguished by the fact, that, tliough they often pass obliquely to the bedding so as
to penetrate several layers of the rock, they are usually more or less nearly horizontal, and
they are never vertical except for a short distance at some abrupt bend in their course.

The genus FlanoUics includes a large number of the supposed vegetable fossils from the
Palaeozoic Rocks which have been referred to the genera Palceophycus and Chondrites-

The Clinton beds of Owen Sound yield examples of a large Stromatopora, which show

(For synonomy of this species, see the description of the species as occurring in the Hud-

name of CJustetes lycoperdon, Say., but I am now satisfied of its identity with the CJmtetex
Fletcheri of Edwards and Haime).

The massive and convex examples of Chcetetes which Hall places under C. lycoperdon, and
which are now generally regarded as belonging to C. pidropolitanus, (Pander), have not come
under my notice as occurring in the Clinton Group, though recorded in this position by Hall.
On the other hand, the ramose examples which are probably identical with Chcdetes Fletcheri,
(Edw. and H)., are far from uncommon. They consist of cylindrical or subcylindrical branch-
ing or sub-palmate coralla, composed of numerous cylindrical or prismatic corallites which
radiate obliquely from an imaginary central axis, and open on the surface by polygonal,
oval, or circular calices. The walls of the corallites are thin, and there are about eight calices
in the space of one line. The calices are for the most part of equal size, and there are no
elevations or " mamelons " occupied by corallites of larger size than the average. The
diam|±er of the branches varies from one to three lines.

Helopora fragilis, Hall, Pal. N.Y. Vol. II. PI. XVII. Figs. 3 a—f.
ReUypora fragilis, Nicholson and Hinde, Canadian Journal, April, 1874.

Polyzoary composed of cylindrical stems, which have a length of from a line and a half
to three lines, and a diameter of from a third of a line to half a line. Usually the stems are
quite straight or slightly curved proximally, very rarely branched, and very generally taper-
ing towards the base and thickened into a swollen, rounded, or clavate distal extremity.
Cells tubular, springing obliquely in a radiating manner from an imaginary central axis, and
opening at the surface by oval or sub-angular mouths, the lower lips of which are, in perfect
specimens somewhat prominent. xVoout ten or twelve cells in the space of a line measured
vertically. The cells are arranged in longitudinal rows, those of contiguous rows alternating
with one another, so as to give rise to a series of diagonally spiral rows. According to Hall,
the cells are arranged between longitudinal lines which are elevated above the general sur-
face, but this character does not appear to be universally recognizable.

In many respects this curious little form presents a close resemblance to the more slender
examples of Choetetes or Stenopora, from which, indeed, it is chiefly separable by the absence
of tabulce and by its general form.

Polyzoary forming a thin flattened expansion of an ensiform shape, curved and tapering

towards the base, and varying in length from half an inch to one inch. Cells arranged in
longitudinal rows, separated by elevated longitudinal thread-like lines, the number of rows
increasing as we proceed from the base towards the proximal end. Apertures of the cells, oval
or oblong, alternating in contiguous rows, about seven in the space of one line measured longi-
tudinally. No striated and non-celluliferous marginal zones appear to exist ; but none of our
specimens exhibit the internal structure ; and we ure therefore uncertain whether the species
should not really be referred to Ptilodictya.

Polysoary composed of linear flattened expansions which branch dichotomously at short
intervals, and have a width of from a line to a line and a half. Cell mouths long-oval, ar-
ranged in longitudinal rows, about Ave in a line measured vertically, and seven or eight
measured in the same space measured transversely. According to Hall, the margin of each
cell aperture is surrounded by a shallow groove, which gives the surface a striated appearance •
but this feature has not been observed by me. The margins do not appear to exhibit a
distinct striated and non-celluliferous border ; and as the internal structure is still unknown,
ihere is some doubt if the species is truly referable to Ptilodictya.

Polyzoary composed of small sub-cylindrical branching stems, about half a line in dia-
meter. Cells large, three rows occupying the width of the stem, the apertures oval, about
i'our in the space of one line measured longitudinally, and six in the same space measured
transversely. The cells are arranged in longitudinal alternating rows, and their apertures
are surround ed by thick but not elevated margins. The rows of cells are not separated by
elevated lines ; there are certainly no non-celluliferous, striated marginal zones or borders to the
frond, and there is no evidence as to the existence of a central laminar axis. It is thus more
than doubtful if the species can be referred to Ptilodictya ; but in the absence of any certain
knowledge as to its internal structure, its generic affinities must remain uncertain.

108. Ptilodictya punctata (Nicholson & Hinde).

{Ref. Canadian Journal, April, 1874).

Polyzoary forming a thin flattened expansion, or explanate frond, which probably had a
circular form when perfect. Cells arranged in sub-alternate rows, separated by elevated
thread-like ridges, which are curved in such a manner as to lead to the belief that the rows of
cells were concentrically disposed of round a central point. Mouths of the cells nearly circular,
from seven to eight in the space of one line measured across the rows, and about five in the
same space measured longitudinally or in the direction of the rows. The cells are separated
in a longitudinal direction by well marked spaces, which are occupied by from three to six
minute rounded pores, the apertures of as many small cells. Mo such pores are to be detected
on the longitudinal ridges which separate the rows of cells, or on the lateral aspects of these.

The internal structure of this singular fossil cannot be
made out, and its generic affinities are thus uncertatn. Only
one side of the coenoecium is known ; it is therefore uncertain
whether both aspects were celluliferous or not. So far as can
be judged, the fossil is a Ptilodictya belonging to the same
group as P. excellens and P. superba, Billings, in which the

least sub-generic value. It is, however, just possible that the
larger openings in the ccenoecium are not the apertures of cells, but actual perforations passing
through the whole thickness of the frond, in which case the fossil would be a very aberrant
member of the Fenestellidce. There is, however, no direct evidence to support this view ; and
but for the porous or punctate intercellular spaces, the fossil has all the characters and ap
pearance of one of the explanate Ptilodidyce.

about a third of a line apart near the middle (from four to five in the space of one line and a

space at the small end of the tube. Spaces between the annulations marked by fine sharp
longitudinal striae.

This species is referable to the same section of Tentamlites as T. distans (Hall), and T.
Sterllnyemis (Meek & Worthen), but it is distinguished from the former by its smaller size
and much more closely approximated annulations, and from the latter by its straight, not
curved, form, its smaller size, and its closer annulations. The walls of the tube appear to
have been of more than usual tenuity, as it generally is found in a crushed condition in itg
upper portion. The longitudinal striae are confined to the spaces between the rings, and do
not encroach upon the annulations themselves.

Fossils of the Niagara Formation.

127. Stromatopora striatella (D'Orbigny.)

{Ref. D'Orbigny, Prod, de Pal^ont. p. 51).

The species of Stromatopora which has usually been quoted from the Niagara Limestone,
is the S. concentrica of Goldfuss. Whilst not denying its possible occurrence on this horizon,
all the examples which have come under my notice are referable to the S. striatella, (D'Orbigny)
a species which is nearly allied to S. concentrica, but is readily distinguished by its much more
delicate and closely set laminae.

Locality and Formation. — Common in the Niagara Limestone of Thorold. Rare at Rock-
wood.

128. Stromatopora Hindei (Nicholson).

{Ref. Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist. Jan. 1874.)

Fossil forming thin crusts or subhemispheric masses composed of successive concentrically
disposed strata, each stratum made up of parallel calcareous laminae separated by interspaces.
Sometimes the component laminae of each stratum are parallel with the upper and lower sur-
faces of the stratum or nearly so ; but more commonly they are oblique to these surfaces.
The result of this is that the interspaces between the laminae open on the surfaces of each
stratum as so many elongated and oblique apertures, which have usually the form of fissure-
like sinuous slits, but sometimes present the appearance seen in weathered specimens of AL
veolites. The laminae of each stratum are sometimes connected by transverse pillars, but more
commonly they are so bent and curved as to inosculate with one another at points closely ap-
proximated, thus giving the whole mass a vesicular structure. Well preserved specimens show
about eight laminae in the space of one line. The upper surface of the fossil not only exhibits
the linear and vermicular openings above spoken of as produced by the interlaminar spaces, but

also a series of large rounded or oval openings, which are more or less irregularly disposed,
and which are the orifices of so many canals which penetrate the mass vertically ur obliquely.
The size of these oscular apertures varies ; but most of them have a diameter from a line to
a line and a half They also vary greatly in their number in a given space, some fragments
exhibiting many of them placed close together, whilst others only show a few, and these remote.
The walls of the canals leading away from these openings are not lined by a continuous cal-
careous membrane (as in .S". perforata), but are perforated like a sieve by the elongated slits
produced by their intersection with the interlaminar spaces. Lastly, the general surface is
undulating, and the oscula are not elevated upon eminences or papillae.

This remarkable species departs in
some important respects from the
structure uf the typical species of
kitromatopora ; but it presents at the
same time such a close resemblance to
forms like »S^. tuberculata that it does
not seem necessary to form a new
genus for its reception. The chief
peculiarity of the present form de-
pends upon the fact that the compon-
ent laminae of the mass are not ar-
ranged concentrically as regards the
entire mass ; but the fossil is composed
of concentric layers, each of which is
composed of parallel or subparallel
lamina? disposed obliquely to the sur-
face of the stratum. Hence the in-
terlaminar spaces, instead of being

can hardly be doubted that these minute openings, which cover the greater part of the entire
surface, are of the nature of inhalant apertures or " pores ; " and they communicate to frag-
ments of this fossil very much the aspect of worn and weathered examples of certain forms of
Alveolites and Ccenites. All those portions of the surface which are not occupied by the pores
are taken up by very much larger openings, which are certainly exhalant apertures or " os-
cula." Very often the laminae are arranged in any given stratum in a subspiral manner round
certain points cf the mass, and the pores on the surface have a corresponding arrange-
ment.

Upon the whole, little doubt can be entertained as to the propriety of referring this
species to the Calcispongiee ; and its structure would strongly corroborate the view that the
surface-tubercles in H. tuberculata are truly perforated, and are of the nature of pores, though
examples of this species as ordinarily preserved do not exhibit this feature clearly. I have

This form appears to us to be rightly separated from H. catenularia, with which it is
united by Edwards and Haime. It is distinguished chiefly by the general form of the cor-
allum, and by the fact that adjoining corallites are separated by transversely septate interspaces.

Specimens undistinguishable from this species are not uncommon in the Niagara Lime-
stone, though not so abundant as F. venusta. The corallites usually average one line in
diameter, though there are always smaller ones intercalated amongst the larger ; and the
septa are commonly represented by spiniform projections.

In the Niagara Limestone of Owen Sound occur specimens which attain much larger
dimensions than is ordinarily the case with F Gothlandica. In these examples, the corallites
are hexagonal, with a normal diameter of from two and a-half to three lines, and in some in-
stances with a long diameter of from four to five lines ; the average diameter in F. Gothlandica
being about one line. The mural pores are of large size, in two or three rows, the third row
sometimes occupying the prismatic angles of the corallites. The tabulae are for the most part
horixontal, not curved, about seven in the space of two lines. It is uncertain whether this
form is new or not, and in the latter case whether it is to be regarded as an extremely large
variety of F. Gothlandica or F. favosa, (Goldf.).

133. Favosites favosa (Goldfuss).

{Ref. Calamopor a favosa, Goldfuss, Petref. Germ., PI. XXVI., Figs, 2a — e.)
The corallum in this species is massive and in all essential respects quite like F. Gothlan-
dica, except for the fact that the tabulae are strongly and uniformly curved, with their con-
vexities directed upwards. The corallites are prismatic, from one line to one and a half lines
in diameter ; the tabulae are about six in the space of two lines ; the mural pores are in two
alternating rows upon the faces of the corallites ; and the septa are represented by spini-
form projections. The very large examples above referred to may possibly be a variety of
this species, though wanting the distinguishing feature that the tabulae are curved.
Locality aud Formation. — Niagara Limestone, Owen Sound.

134. Favosites venusta (^Hall)

(Ref Astroce.riumvenustum, Hall, Pal. N. Y., Vol. II., PI. XXXIV., Figs, la—i.)

The genus Astrocerium (Hall) cannot be retained, as its distinguishing character, viz.,
the possession of spiniform septa, is shared by Favosites ; but the present species appears never,
theless to be a, valid one. It forms large hemispheric or spherical masses, which are usually
composed of a succession of concentric layers. The coi-allites are slender and variable in size,
prismatic or polygonal, rapidly increasing in number by fission. The larger corallites are
usually about half a line across ; but they have many smaller ones intercalated amongst them,
the diameter of which varies from the fiftieth of an inch to half ;a line. The calices are
hexagonal, polygonal, or sub-cylindrical, and our specimens show only rudimentary septa, in
the form of very short spiniform projections. gThe tabulge are complete, straight or flexuous,
four or six in the space of one line. The mural pores are not determinable.

There can be little doubt as to the distinctness of this species from F. Gothlandica, the
much smaller size of the corallites alone constituting a good ground of separation. It most
resembles the F. hemisphcrica of the Devonian, but it is distinguished by its complete and
more remote tabulae and by its mode of growth.

135. FaVOSITES (?; MULTIPORA (Hall).

{Ref. Cladopora muUipora, Hall, Pal. N. Y., Vol. II., PI. XXXIX., Figs. la~g ; non
Favosites muUijJora (Lonsdale).

The Niagara Limestone of Ontario yields various forms, which are referable to the genus
founded by Hall under the name of Cladopora, and characterized by him as follows.

" Ramose or reticulate ; branches cylindrical or slightly compressed ; terminations terete ;
coral composed of a series of tubes or cells radiating equally on all sides from the axis, and open-
ing upon the surface in rounded or sub-angular expanded mouths ; cells more or less closely
arranged but not always contiguous, and apparently destitute of septa or rays."

We are unable, so far as our specimens enable us to judge, to separate the forms referred
to Cladopora from Favosites. The chief point relied upon by Hall in separating the two genera
is the supposed absence in the former of tabulae and mural pores. This would be amply suf-
ficient, if it could be proved that these structures are really wanting ; but this is not the
case. Thus, we have examined some hundreds of well preserved specimens of Favosites dubia,
(De Blain.), F. reticulata (De Blain.), and F. polymorpha, (Gold.), from the Corniferous
Limestone, without meeting with more than two or three examples in which either the tabulae
or the mural pores could be detected. It is therefore quite possible, judging from their state
of preservation, that the Niagara Limestone specimens referred to Cladopora also at one time
possessed tabulae and mural pores, and that these structures have simply been obliterated by
the process of fossilization. The prominence of the lower lip of the calice is likewise a charac-
ter common to the above quoted species of Favosites, and cannot be used to define Cladopora.
So far, therefore, as our materials permit us to come to a decision, we are of opinion that
most, if not all, of the species of Hall's genus Cladopora are truly to be regarded as ramose
species of Favosites.

If this view be established by more extended researches, the present species will have to
change its name, since the specific title '• multipora " has been already pre-occupied by Lons-
dale for a different species of Favosites. In this Case we would propose to call the present spe-
cies Favosites Halliana.

The characters of the species are as follows : — Corallum ramose, the branches cylindrical,
nearly a line and a half in diameter, dividing dichotomously at intervals of three lines and
upwards, sometimes inosculating. Corallites oblique to the 'axis of the branches, moderately
thick-walled, in contact with one another. Calices circular or polygonal, sometimes wider
than long, from four to five in the space of a line measured vertically or diagonally, the lower
lip of the aperture slightly or not at all prominent. For the most part the calices are of
the same size, but sometimes smaller ones are intercalated amongst the others.

The species is distinguished from the more slender forms of Favosites dtdna (De Blain.), and
F. reticulata (De Blain.), by the much greater closeness of the calices, and the comparatively
thin walls of the corallites. In other respects no difference can be pointed out between our
Niagara examples and specimens of the last mentioned forms of the Corniferous Limestone.
From Chcetetes the species is separated by the thicker walls of the corallites and the form and
aspect of the calices.

Milne Edwards and Haime identify Cladopora imdtijjimt (Hall) with Alveolites {?> sn-iato-
roides, (Edw. and H.) which is certainly not an Alveolites, and which is distinguished by its

53

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 8.) A. 1874

abundant coenenchyma, its vertical corallites, and the arrangement of the caliees in nearly
vertical rows. We cannot, however, accept this identification, since our examples, as well as
those figured and described by Hall, have no true crenenchyma, have corallites with a slight
but well marked obliquity, and have not got the cells arranged in vertical rows, but rather
in obliquely transverse rows.

Locality and Formation. — Niagara Limestone ; Rockwood, and Thorold.

136. FaVOSITES (?) SERIATA (Hall).
{Ref. CMopora seriata, Hall, Pal. N.Y. Vol. II., PI. XXXVIII, Figs. 1, a—m.)

Two or three specimens in our collections have the mode of growth of this species, but in
other respects difier little or not at all from the preceding. It is perhaps doubtful, indeed, if
the distinctions between Cladopwa multijjoi'a, C. seriata, C. ccespitosa, C. cervicornis, and C
macropJiora (Hall), are of specific value ; but as we have not access to authentic specimens,
and as Hall only in the case of the first of these gives any measxirements, we are unable to
decide this point.

Milne Edwards and Haime identify Cladopora seriata (Hall) with Alveolites repens,
which it much resembles in general form and mode of growth. "We have not seen any
authentic specimens of the latter, but, judging from their figures and description, its caliees
are entirely unlike those of the former in their characters. ,

Locality and Fonnation. — Miagara Limestone, Rockwood.

137. Favosites dubia (De Blainville)?

The Niagara limestone of Rockwood yields examples of a form which may, perhaps, be
referable to one of the species of Hall's genus Cladopora, but which appears to us to be alto-
gether inseparable from certain slender branching corals which occur abundantly in the Cor-
niferous Limestone, and which we have been in the habit of regarding as the young of Favo-^
sites dulia, (De Blain). In this form the corallum is composed of slender cylindrical stems
which have a diameter of from three quarters of a line to a line and a quarter, and which
divide at short intervals without anastomosis. The corallites have thick walls, and the caliees
are polygonal, circular, or transversely oval, about three in the space of one line measured
diagonally or vertically. In perfect specimens the lower lip of the calice is decidedly promi-
nent, but the caliees are nearly of equal size.

In the larger and more typical specimens of the F. dubia, such as occur in the Devonian
Rocks, there are very small corallites interspersed amongst the larger ones. This character, how-
ever is not conspicuous in the small specimens from the Corniferous Limestone which appear
to be referable to this species, nor can it be detected in the Niagara examples. It hardly seems,
in the absence of any other distintive character, to be a point of specific value.

Tabulae distinct, mural pores large and few.

The Niagara Limestone of Ontario has yielded to our researches the following two
species of Cosnites.

138. CfENITES LAMINATA (Hall.)

Fig. 2.5 d,f.

IRef. lAmarialaminata, Hall. Pal N.Y., Vol. II, PI. XXXIX. Figs. 6. a—d.)

Corallum encrusting or massive, the calices somewhat crescentic, with two prominent
rounded teeth in the concave side of the crescent (Fig. 25 e.). Calices not prominent, about
one third of a line in their long diameter, and one sixth of a line across, separated by about
their length ; six or seven in the space of two lines on an average.

The calices appear to be separated by a well-developed coenenchyma ; but it is probable
that this is only an appearance, and that it is really due to the great thickening of the walls
of the corallites and their amalgamation with one another.

Locality and Formation. — Niagara Limestone, Rockwood.

139. CcENiTES LUNATA (Nicholson and Hinde).

(Ref. Canadian Journal, April, 1874.)

Corallum forming a thin crust, apparently about two-thirds of a line in thickness,
Calices strongly curved, crescentic or lunate, their form being due to the projection into their
cavity of a single strong rounded tooth developed from the concave lip (Fig. 25, h and c. .
x!alices about one fourth of a line in their long diameter, and one eighth of a line across;
eight in the space of two lines. Corallites perpendicular to the surface, appearing as if
embedded in a dense coenenchyma, though this is most probably due simply to the great
thickening of their walls.

Of all the described species of the genus, C.

p^^^ lunata is most nearly allied to C. hmiitiata Hall,

a calices, their more markedly crescentic form,

and the possession of a single rounded calicine

{Ref. Canadian Journal, New Series, Vol. V., p. 256, Fig. 6).

From the Niagara Limestone of Owen Sound, we have obtained several examples of an
Alveolites, which in general characters and dimensions resembles A. Fiscluri, (Billings), of the
Comiferous and Hamilton Formations, and which we are unable to separate specifically from
this form. The coraUum forms a thin laminar expansion about one line in thickness, celluli-
ferous on the two sides, and either continuous or rarely partially reticulated. The calices are
transversely oval or subtriangular, usually with one curved and one straight side, sometimes
with one curved and two straight sides. The long diameter of the calices is from one-third of
a line to half a line, and they are separated from one another by about the same distance.
, Locality and Formation. — Niagara Limestone, Owen Sound.

142. Alveolites Niagarensis (Nicholson & Hinde).

{Bef. Canadian Journal, April, 1874).

Corallum dendroid, branches cylindrical, about two lines in diameter, dividing dichoto-
mously. Calices small, distinctly triangular, with the apex of the triangle directed down-^
wards, about six in the space of two lines. The upper side of each calice carries a single
prominent septal tooth in the form of a vertical plate, which is placed in the median plane of
the aperture, dividing it into equal halves and giving it an almost crescentic appearance.

VVe cannot identify this with any previously recorded
form, though it bears a general resemblance to more than
one known species. It is most nearly allied to A. labiosa
(Billings), from the Comiferous Limestone. All the un-
questionable examples of the latter which we have examined

the same level in contiguous corallites, and form a series of complete floors. Walls of the theca
complete and well developed, meeting in the centre of the theca, with a distinct and well
developed columella. Costal radii prolonged over the successive exothecal floors. Tabulae
rudimentary or absent (?)

There are some points in the structure of the corals here referred to which we cannot
actually make out with the materials at present in our hands ; and we are therefore uncertain
whether they really constitute a new genus, though we cannot place them under any genus
already described.

From Smithia, Edw. and H., the genus Astrceophyllum is distinguished by the posses-
sion of a distinct columella, and by the fact that the corallites are united not only by costal
radii, but by well developed exothecal floors.

From Phillipsastrcea, the present genus is distinguished by not having the corallites
united laterally along their whole length, and in having the calices definitely circumscribed.

From Haimeophijllum (Billings), the genus is separated by the well developed, not rudi
mentary, septa, and by the fact that the latter possesses vesicular tabulae.

From Heliophylluin colligatum (Billings), which probably forms the type of a separate
group, As^neophylhim is distinguished by the possession of a distinct columella, and the apparent
absence of septal spines or tabulae.

From Thecostegites (Edw. and H.,) the genus is distinguished by its well developed septa
and columella, and the apparently obsolete tabulae. Lastly, Astrceophyllum is distinguished
from Cannapora (Hall), by the possession of a columella, and the apparent absence of tabulae.

143. Astrceophyllum gracile (Nicholson and Hinde).
Fig. 28.

{Eef. Canadian Journal, April, 1874).

This being the only known species of the genus, the generic characters form part of the
s|)ecific description. In addition to thesw characters, however, the corallites are cylindrical,
and about three-quarters of a line in diameter, placed at distances apart of two lines, less or
more. The calices are expanded, about two lines in diameter, deep, with a prominent columella.
The septa are from twenty-six to thirty in number, unequally developed, the greater number
apparently reaching the centre. The mural expansions are nearly horizontal, from two to
four in the space of two lines measured vertically, placed at the same levels throughout the

57

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 8.) A. 1874

mass. At the last formed surface, the calices project slightly above the layen formed by the
coalescent mural expansions ; and this layer is traversed by radiating ridges corresponding
with the septa of the corallites. The calices, however, are circumscribed by very distinct and
well developed walls.

The upper surface of the coral somewhat resembles, on a small scale, that of Hellophyllum
colligatiim. (Billings) ; but the mural expansions and costal radii are confluent, and are not
marked off for each corallite as they are in the latter. The mural expansions are variable in
number, sometimes very close, at other times remote. Owing to the silicification of the speci-
mens, it cannot be determined what are the characters of the free edges of the septa, nor
whether, rudimentary tabulae may not be present, though no signs of the latter can be
detected. In Heliophyllum colligatum, on the other hand, there is a well marked central tabu-
late area.

Locality and Formation. — Common in the Niagara Limestone, Owen Sound. "

144. Cannapora annulata (Nicholson and Hinde).

{Ref. Canadian Jotmial, April, 1874).

Corallum aggregate, composed of numerous slender cylindrical corallites, which form
flattened expansions or crusts, and are united together by exothecal growths. Corallites from
half a line to nearly one line in diameter, usually the former, nearly in contact, about four or
five in the space of two lines. The corallites are strongly annulated with close-set annulations,
which are developed into so many mural expansions which unite together contiguous tubes.
About four of these annulations and expansions in the space of one line. Tabulae well deve-
loped and close-set. Septa distinct but rudimentary, only extending a short distance into the
theca, about twelve in number in each corallite.

Cannapora annulata is closely allied to C. juncifoi'mis (Hall), from the horizon of the
Clinton Group. The latter species, however, has the mural expansions placed at intervals of
about a tenth of an inch apart ; so that there are only ten in the space of an inch, instead of
between forty and fifty, as in the present species. Our examples, also, do not appear to have
attained anything like the dimensions of G. junciformis, the corallites rarely exceeding half an
inch in height.

Clathropora frondosa, Nicholson & Hinde Canadian Jovrnal, April, 1874.

It seems certain that Prof. Hall has included under this name two quite distinct species.
The one which we have met with in the Niagara Limestone has the frond perforated with
rounded perforations of comparatively small size. (iSee Pal. N. Y., Vol. II., PL LX. B, fig.
6b). The perforations are not more than from half a line to three-fifths of a line in diameter,
and are placed at intervals of from a line and a quarter to a line and a half, about fourteen
rows of cells occupying the space of one line measured transversely. The name of (7. frondosn
should be restricted to forms agreeing with the above measurements. On the other hand, the
forms with perforations varying from one line to a line and half in diameter (see Pal. N. Y.,
Vol. II, PL XL, B. Fig. 5«) have elsewhere been described by me, from Devonian speci-
mens, under the name of Clathropora inter text a.

perforated by a series of rounded perforations which are arranged in regularly diagonal lines.

Fossils of the Guelph Formation.*
176. Stromatopora concentrica (Goldfuss).

The Guelph Limestones contain, throughout their whole extent, very numerous and
very large specimens of a species of Stromatopora, which appears to agree in the coarseness of
its lamination with *S'. concentrica, (Goldfuss). Owing, however, to the very imperfect state
of preservation in which these specimens occur, it is impossible to determine with any posi-
tiveness whether they are really referable to this species or not. One very interesting speci-
men, kindly submitted to me for examination by Charles Clarke, Esq., M. P. P., exhibits the
surface, which is studded with remote circular apertures or " oscula" from one to two lines
in diameter. If really referable to S. concentrica, this is the first example of the species in
which these openings have been recorded.

Locality and Formation. — Guelph formation ; Elora, Gait, Guelph, Hespeler, &c.

176 bis. Stromatopora ostiolata (Nicholson).

Stromatopora ostiolata, Nicholson, Annals of Natural History, August, 1873. Report
on the Palaeontology of Ontario, 1874, PI. I. Figs. 1, \a.

Fossil forming large hemispherical mssses, several inches in diameter, composed of innu-
merable delicate laminae, arranged conentrically, and separated by interspaces which are broken
up by numerous slender vertical pillars, giving the whole a finely reticulate structure. The
laminae are as thin as writing-paper ; and, with the intervening interspaces, there are about

* I take this opportunity <;f saying that I am indebted for many valuable specimens from the Guelph
Formation to the generosity of Mr. David Boyle, Public School Teacher, Elora, who is an indefatigable and
zealous collector, and whose museum in connection with the School over which he presides, is a work of great
public utility.

63

ten of them in the space of one line. The upper surface of the mass is undulated and is quite
smooth, except for the presence of small rounded or conical elevations, perforated at the apex
with rounded openings, and arranged with tolerable regularity in diagonal lines. These eleva-
tions have a width of about half a line, and appear to be of the nature of exhalant apertures
or oscula. The lines of oscula are placed at distances apart of from four to five lines ; and
the oscula in each line are about the same distance from one another. When the mass is
broken, similar osculiferous surfaces are found to exist throughout the whole, arranged con-
centrically with one another, and separated by spaces varying from two to three lines in
thickness, these spaces being occupied by the ordinary laminated or reticulated tissue of the
fossil. Laterally the laminae and osculiferous surfaces, instead of being concentrically arranged
as regards the entire mass, terminate in a series of rounded, nipple-shaped prominences, each
of which is composed of thin concentric laminae which scale ofi" like the coats of an onion.
The lateral surfaces of the fossil thus come to exhibit an extraordinary nodulated and botryo-
idal appearance.

It is impossible to give in a few words any adequate diagnosis of this most remarkable
fossil, which appears to throw considerable light upon the affinities of the genus Stromatopora. if
indeed, it does not truly constitute a new genus. In the fact that its main bulk consists of a
succession of thin calcareous laminee, with intermediate vertical props, pillars, or dissepiments,
marking ofi" minute cellular compartments, S. ostiolata agrees entirely with the typical species
oi Stromatopoi'a ; and in the great number of laminae in a given space it closely resembles S.
striatella, (D'Orb.). It exhibits, however, two peculiarities which, so far as I am aware, are
altogether unique.

In the first place, it is not composed, as are ^S*. striatella, (D'Orb.), and S. concentrica,
(Goldf) which it most nearly resembles in general form, of a succession of lamina concen-
trically arranged round an imaginary centre or centres. On the contrary, in the present
species, intercalated amongst the general enveloping concentric laminae of the mass is a series
of cylindrical masses, each composed of laminae concentric with its long axis, and each termi-
nating (probably at both ends, though this is not shown) in a rounded nipple-shaped extremity.
Superiorly these laminated cylinders are enveloped by laminae which are concentric to the
whole mass, so that the outermost surface is simply undulating. On two of the sides of the
fossil the ends of the above-mentioned cylinders protrude as so many nipple-shaped conical
prominences, giving these aspects of the mass very much the appearance of the peculiar inor-
ganic structure known as " cone-in-cone."

In the second place, a still more remarkable feature is presented by the upper surface of
the fossil. The specimens are so highly mineralized (as is always the case with the fossils of
the dolomites of the Guelph formation), that the smooth undulating upper surfaces of the
laminae exhibit no structure that can be made out with the lens. If any pores existed, as is
most probable, they cannot now be detected. The upper surface, however, exhibits tolerably
regular diagonal lines of small conical papillae, some of which at any rate are unmistakeably
perforated by rouaded apertures. It is true that some of these eminences do not show any
sign of being perforated ; but this is probably, indeed almost certainly, due to the peculiar
condition of mineralization of the fossil. The perforated eminences are distant from two to
four lines from one another ; and the diagonal rows stand about as far apart. The appearance
presented by the upper surface, with its perforated papillae, thus comes to simulate somewhat

64

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 8.) A. 1874

the root of a fossil plant like Stigmaria, with the points whence the rootlets proceeded. The
eminences themselves are but slightly elevated above the general surface ; and the apical
aperture has a diameter of about one thirtieth of an inch. Not only does the outermost or
highest lamina of the fossil exhibit the above appearance, but the same structure reappears at
intervals of two or three lines all through the mass, each surface being concentric with the
preceding one, and separated from it by reticulated tissue. It is probable, therefore, that we
should regard the fossil as really consisting of thin crusts, which are only accidentally super-
imposed one above the other.

A structure apparently analogous to the above has been described (M'Coy, Pal. Foss. pp.
12 & 65) as occurring in Stromatopora striatella (D'Orb.), S. concentrica (Goldf.), and S.
[Caunopm-a) placenta, (Phill). In the first of these, according to M'Coy, the general laminated
structure of the mass is traversed nearly at right angles by " vertical vermicular perforations
about one fourth of a line in diameter/' at distances varying from one to two lines apart ; and
essentially the same thing is seen in the other two species above mentioned. In the present
species, however, there is no evidence that the apertures on the surfaces of the successive
osculiferous layers communicate internally with vermicular tubes, though it is possible that
they do; whilst the apertures are placed at the summit of small rounded or conical elevations
and are comparatively remote and large.

It can hardly be doubted that the perforated eminences of Stromatopora ostiolata corres-
pond with the " oscula" of the genuine sponges. Indeed the surface of this species reminds
one very strongly of the well-knewn genus Porospongia or Manon. The probability that
Stromatopo^-a is truly referable to the Calcispongias is thus rendered stronger than it would
have appeared from the evidence formerly in our possession. If, however, it should be found
that these oscula are not present in all the species at present referred to Stromatopora (and
they have certainly not hitherto been recognised in the majority of forms), then it might be
advisable to divide the genus into two, retaining Stromatopora for the species without oscules,
and forming a fresh genus for those in which these apertures are present. The former would
thus be nearly allied to the Foraminifera. whilst the latter would lead from the Foraminifera
to the Calcispongise.

The specimens of Stromatapora ostiolata from which the above description was taken, were
presented to the Museum of the University of Toronto, by their discoverer, Mr. John Wilkic.
The species itself cannot possibly be confounded with any previously described form.

183. Amplexus (?) sp.

The Guelph Limestones contain in abundance a species of coral, which 1 am unable to refer
with certainty to its proper genus. Some specimens have the form of detached cylindrical
tubes, irregular in their thickness, but varying in diameter from a line and a half to three
lines. These tubes are more or less flexuous, and are furnished both with very well deve-
loped tabulae, and with marginal septa in the form of strong longitudinal ridues. Examples
of this nature present precisely the characters of the genus Amplexus, and I have been under
the impression that they were referable to Amplexus laxatvs of Billings, a form which is
quoted in the " Geology of Canada," as occurring in the Guelph Limestone?, but the des-

cription of which I have been unable to consult. Other specimens, equally or more abundant,
consist of numerous closely approximated tubes, similar in their structure to the above, and
apparently forming parts of a composite mass. This would lead one to separate these speci-
mens from Amplexus, which contains only simple forms y but one would still be left uncer-
tain where to place them. The genus to which such specimens would be referable by their
general form and mode of growth is Diphfphyllum ; but they differ from this genus and agree
with Amplexus, in the presence of complete tabulae (not a mere central tabulate area), and in
the rudimentary condition of the septa. The same form occurs in the Corniferous Limestone;
but I must at present leave its position unsettled.

Casts of this wonderful shell are not at all rare in tiie upper portion of the Guelph For-
mation, and sometimes almost form whole beds. Good specimens, however, are not so rea-
dily obtainable, and examples in which the actual shell is preserved, are of comparatively
rare occurrence. The largest cast in my possession has a length of five and a half inches,
and a width of four and a half inches, the depth of both valves being three and a half inches.
The smallest cast in my possession, has a length of two inches and a width of one inch
and three-quarters, the depth of the closed valves being one inch and four lines.

In many respects this singu-
lar species agrees with M. Cana-
densis (Hali); from which, how-
ever, it is clearly distinct. It is
only known to us by the cast,
which is entirely free from dis-
tortion, and may therefore be
relied upon as giving the true
characters of the interior of the
shell. The cast forms an almost
complete ellipse, which is very
much compressed laterally, and
has a length of twenty-eigh
lines, a width of nineteen lines,
and a depth of seven lines. In
M. Canadensis, on the other
hand, the depth of the valves is
nearly or quite equal to the
width. Our species, therefore,
entirely wants the great ventri-
cosity of the dorsal portion of
the shell, which so distinguishes

ly thickened, and the cast exhibits a great contraction or excavation situated anteriorly above
the [casts of the muscular impressions. In M. compressus, on the contrary, the thickening of
the anterior portion of the shell must have been much less, and this contraction of the cast
is wanting. In both species alike, the ventral portion of the cast is the thinnest, and a well
marked shallow depression or groove extends backwards from the muscular impression, paral-
lel with the'margin of the shell and ultimately becoming obsolete posteriorly. This indicates
a corresponding ridge or elevation on the interior of the shell.

other respectsj the shell is not unlike that of Murchisonia Loganii.

This species is distinguished by its long, turreted spire, which is composed of numerous
volutions. The whorls increase very slowly in size, and their outer surfaces are very slightly

70

(Plate III, Fig. 2).
(Jief. Murckisonia Hercyna, Billings, Palaeozoic Fossils of Canada, Vol. I, p. 158, Fig. 141).
In this species, the shell is conical or trochoid, with a nearly flat base, the apical angle
being about Q5°. There are five or six gently rounded whorls, the surface being covered
with fine lamellose striae, which curve obliquely backwards from the suture to the lower edge
of the whorl. The length of the shell is fourteen lines, and its width at the base one inch.

(Plate III, Fig. 6).

(Bef. Murckisonia Vitellia, Billings, Palaeozoic Fossils of Canada, Vol. I, p. 156, Fig. 138).

In this species, the shell is furnished with an elevated and conical spire of about four
angular Tolutions. The body whorl is ventricose, and, in common with all the other whorls,
is furnished with a broad flat spiral band along its centre. Above the band, the whorls are
flat or slightly concave ; below, moderately convex. In the best preserved specimen in my
possession, the length of the shell is somewhat over two inches, of which the body-whorl takes
up one inch, the width of the body-whorl being an inch and a half.

Shell turreted, with a long conical spire, the apical angle of which is about 18*^. Whorls
ten or eleven in number, increasing regularly from the apex to the mouth, flat, with a well
marked spiral band or angulation situated just above the suture. Suture canaliculated.
Body-whorl little larger than the succeeding whorl, not ventricose. Base somewhat produced
below, apparently with a small umbilicus. Length two inches and a half , width of body-
whorl eleven lines.

This species is readily recognised by its turritiform shape ; its more rapid expansion than
is the case in M. longispira (RaW), M. turritiformis (Hall) or M. ^.s/e/^a (Billings) ; its canalicu-
lated suture ; and the existence of an angular band a little above the suture, causing the lower
part of each whorl to project over the upper portion of the whorl next below. The above des-
cription is taken from a gutta-percha cast of a natural mould presented to the Museum of
Toronto University by Mr. David Boyle, Public School Teacher, Elora, to whom I have de-
dicated the species.

Fossils of the Devonian Formations.

In my report on the Palaeontology of Ontario for the year 1874, I gave descriptions of
one hundred and sixty species of fossils from the Devonian Rocks of Upper Canada. To
these I have now to add a considerable number of fresh forms, derived from additional mate-

rials which I obtained during the summer of 1874, in some further investigations which I
carried out in the Corniferous and Hamilton Formations. Some of these additional species
are new to science ; others are now recorded for the first time as occurring in Canada ; and
others, again, have been previously recognised as Canadian, by Mr. Billings, but had not come
under my notice at the time when my last years' report was written.

209. Cystiphyllum pruticosum (Nicholson).

(Plate I, Fig. 3).

Cystiphyllum frutkosum, Nicholson, Geological Magazine, December, 1874.

Corallum aggregate, composed of numerous, cylindrical, straight or slightly flexuous co-
rallites, which grow side by side, but are not connected by epithecal processes or expansions,
and which often form colonies of several feet in circumference. Corallites about three lines in
diameter or rather less, and placed usually at intervals apart of two lines less or more. Epi-
theca thin, but distinct, marked with very numerous fine, encircling striae, as well as irregular
annulations and constrictions of growth. Calice moderately excavated, from one and a half
to two lines in depth, exhibiting numerous bullae, sometimes with septal striae near the margin.
Internal structure wholly vesicular, the vesicles having a diameter of from half a line to nearly
one line.

With the exception ef the present very remarkable form, and the equally singular 0.
aggregatum of Billings, all the known species of Cystiphyllum are simple. Its compound cha-
racter is therefore, of itself sufficient to distinguish C. frutkosum from all the hitherto re-
corded species of the genus except C. aggregatum, and from this it is separated by its wholly
different form and mode of growth. In its general appearance C. fruticosum presents the
very closest resemblance to Diphyphjllum arundinaceum (Billings), with which it not uncom-
monly occurs associated, and with which it would certainly be confounded if its internal
structure were not examined. By this, however, it is at once separated, and is proved to be
conclusively a genuine Cystiphyjlum.

Locality and Formatkn. — Not uncommon in the Corniferous Limestone of Port Col-
borne and Hagersville.

210. Cystiphyllum superbum (Nicholson).

(Plate I. Fig. 1.)
Cystiphyllum superhum (Nicholson), Geological Magazine, December, 1874.

Corallum of large size, simple, turbinate, very broadly expanding. Calice extremely
large, circular, moderately deep, and very oblique, making, with the dorsal surface, an angle
of about 50 degrees and one of about 150 degrees with the ventral surface. The septa are
marked by distinct rows of bullae, which radiate from the bottom of the cup, and are not less
than one hundred and forty to one hundred and fifty in number. The vesicles are small,
not exceeding half a line in diameter in the circumferential portion of the coral. Epitheca
well developed, with numerous fine encircling striae and annulations of growth. Owing to the
obliquity of the calice, the dorsal surface of the corallum is nearly twice as long as the ventral
surface ; and the greatest thickness is attained at about three inches above the base, or at about
half the total length.

73

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (Xo. 8.) A. 1784

The only individual observed had the following dimensions : — Length measured alon^ the
dorsal surface, six inches ; along the ventral surface, three inches ano a half. Greatest thick-
ness, at three inches above the base, about three and a half inches. Diameter ofcalice, four
and a half inches ; depth of calice, about one inch.

This fine species is most nearly allied to C. y^.«CMfo5MW,(Groldfuss.), but it is distinguished
from this and all other recorded species of the genus by its comparatively gigantic dimensions,
its very rapid expansion from the base upwards, and the striking obliquity of the calice. When
viewed in profile its outline appears to be somewhat rhomboidal. This, however, is not a
natural or essential appearance, but is due to the fact that the dorsal surface, in the individual
examined, is abruptly geniculated about the middle of its length. There is, however, no rea-
son for supposing that this feature would prove to be a normal one in the species.

Eridophyllum strictum, Billings, CcmoAian Journal New Series, Vol. IV, p. 133.

Corallum fasciculate, of elongated cylindrical corallites, which have a diameter of from
two to five lines, and are placed at intervals varying from half a line to two lines apart. The
corallites are sometimes annulated by sharp-edged epithecal projections at intervals of from
one and a half to three lines, and at each of these annulations arise small processes by which
the separate corallites are united to one another. At other times these periodic annulations,
and the processes which spring from them, are not nearly so well marked, and may hardly be
developed at all. In any case, the epitheca is marked by longitudinal and fine encircling stride,
of which the latter often have an oblique direction. Increase is chiefly, or entirely, by ca-
licular gemmation, three or four young being often produced simultaneously from the oral
disc of the parent coi;allite. A well marked internal tabulatejarea is present. The septa are well
developed in the external area of the corallites, where they are united by delicate dissepiments.
The septa are apparently alternately developed, and rarely encroach much upon the internal
tabulate area, their number seeming to be about sixty in a full-sized corallite.

This species is somewhat variable. The specimens which I have seen from the Cor-
niferous Limestone of Ohio and Kentucky exhibit very conspicuously periodic annulations of
growth, from which the connecting processes are developed in a whorled manner ; but this
feature is not marked in the Canadian specimens. The species is most nearly allied to Eri-
dophyllum Simcoense (Billings), in general appearance and dimensions ; but I am satisfied that
the two forms are really distinct. When the connecting processes between the corallites are
not conspicuous, then E. strictum may usually be readily distinguished from E. Simcoense by
its calicular gemmation.

rallites, which are placed nearly or quite in contact, and have a diameter of from six to nine

lines. Increase is by lateral gemmation, and
the young corallites rapidly attain the dimen-
sions of the adult. Generally there is a small
centra] tabulate area, into which the sepjia do
not extend. The septa are usually from fifty to
sixty in number, alternately large and small,
united by delicate dissepiments in the external
portions of the corallites. Epitheca with fine
concentric gtrise, and also with numerous annu-
lations and constrictions of growth. The annu-
lations of growth are usually sharp-edged, and
contiguous corallites are often united together

Corallum turbinate, rapidly expanding, about three
inches in length when fully grown, and two inches
in diameter at the calice, more or less curved towards the
base. A large and deep fossette, usually placed on the
curved side of the corallum, sometimes on one side.
Septa unequally developed, usually from sixty to seventy
or eighty of the larger ones, with smaller ones intercalated
between them. The larger septa more or less closely
reaching the centre, where they may be more or less
twisted. Tabulae well developed, bent downwards to-
wards the circumference of the corallum. Epitheca with
a few shallow annulations of growth, and with longitu-
dinal striae corresponding with the septa within.

I see no reason to doubt the identity of our Hamilton
specimens with this species, as they agree perfectly with the numerous examples of Z. corni-
cula which I have examined from the Corniferous Limestone of Ohio and Kentucky. Mr.
Billings has expressed the opinion (Canac^i'aw /owr. New Series, Vol. V, p. 264) that Zaph-

rentis comicula will prove to be truly a Heliophyllum ; but all the specimens which have
come under my notice are clearly referable to the genus Zaphrentis.

214. Cyathophyllum Zenker: (Billings).

Gyathophyllum Zenkeri, Billings, Canadian Journal, New Scries, Vol. V. p. 262, Fig.
11.

Corallum simple, turbinate, usually strongly curved towards the base, which is small
and pointed ; septa from one hundred and forty to one hundred and fifty in number, some-
times equally developed, sometimes alternately large and small. Tn the circumferential zone
of the coral, the interseptal loculi are rendered vesicular by the development of a number of
fine dissepiments, and longitudinal 'sections show the existence in the centre of the corallum of
a not very well developed tabulate area. Surface with fine encircling striae and low rounded
annulations of growth, marked with longitudinal stria? which correspond with the septa within
and of which there are usually five or six in the space of two lines. Calice'deep, usually with
a more or less flattened space at the bottom. The principal septa, more or fewer of them,
reach the centre of the calice, where they are often more or less twisted, and may even
be elevated so as to form a pseudo-columella. A septal fossette in several of the examples
observed.

The largest individual examined had a length of about two inches and a half, and a
diameter at the cup of twenty lines, the depth of the cup being rather over half an inch.
The smallest example observed had a length of an inch and a half, and a diameter at the top of
fourteen lines, the depth of the calice being eight lines.

The specimens upon which Mr. Billings founded this species were obtained from the
Corniferous Limestone ; but I have obtained a number of examples, agreeing in all essential
respects with his description of the species, from the Hamilton formation.

Locality and Formation. — Hamilton Formation, Arkona ; Township of Bosanquet.

215. MiCHELiNiA FAVOSOIDEA (Billings)."

Michelinia favosoidea, Billings, Canadian Journal, New Series, Vol. IV. p. 114.

Corallum forming large, spherical, hemispherical, or depressed masses composed of polygonal
corallites the diameter of which is usually about two lines and a half Tabulae well developed,
flat, or slightly curved with the convexity directed upwards, sometimes vesicular towards their
outer margins. Septa represented by obscure striae or by rows of minute spiniform projections.
Mural pores variable in size and situation. U.sually they form oval perforations in the walls of
the corallites, having their longer axis vertical ; or they may be in rows of five or six on each
plane surface of the corallite, in which case they are of small size ; or they may be quite ir-
regular in their distribution in which case they are of larger size.

This species in general appearance is closely similar to Favosites favosa (Goldfuss), but
the characters of the mural pores and the sub-vesicular tabulae prove it to be a Michelinia.
It is very nearly related to Michelinia convexa (D'Orbigny), but the corallites are more uni-
form in size, the tabulae are not so highly vesicular, and the mural pores are more numerous.

21C, Amplexus laxatus (Billings)?

Amplexus laxutui (Billings), Canadian Naturalist.

The Corniferous Limestone of Ontario has yielded numerous examples of a speoies of
Amplexus, which 1 believe to be identical with the A. laxatus of Billings. I have not, how-
evei, access to the description of this species, and I am therefore obliged to leave this deter-
mination uncertain. Precisely the same form occurs in the Niagara Limestone, and also very
abundantly, in the Guelph Formation. All my specimens are fragmentary, and I cannot
made out their mode of growth accurately. Certain examples appear to be simple, and to
have the form of cylindrical flexuous stems, which are irregularly constricted at intervals,
and have a diameter of from one line to a line and a quarter. The tabulae are well developed,
and are placed generally about half a line apart. The septa are in the form of strong mar-
ginal ridges. Other examples consist of numerous tubes similar to the above, and placed about
two and a half'lines apart. Whether these actually form part of a compound mass or not, I am
unable to say. If they do, then the species should probably be removed from Amplexus, and
placed provisionally in the genus JDiphyphyUum. At the same time, the characters of the
septa are those of Amplexus, and by no means those of Diphyphylhim.

Locality and Formation. — Corniferous Limstonc, Lot 6, Con. 1, Wainfleet. (Also in
the Niagara fjimestone and Guelph formations of Canada.)

217. Callop3Ba minutissima (Nicholson).

Corallum forming thin crust:-, not ^exceeding one quarter or one half of a line in thick-
ness, upon foreign bodies. Corallites exceedingly minute, about one hundred and fiftieth of
an inch in diameter. Calices not^levated above the general surface, oval or circular in shape,

separated by interspaces varying from half the diameter
of the calices to equal the diameter, about eight or ten
in the space of one line. Interspaces between the coral-
lites filled with excessively minute circular or polygonal
tubuli. There do not seem to be any areolae or vacant •
p. ... spaces filled simply with coenenchymal tubes.

Corallum, forming large, spherical or hemispherical masses, the surface of which is covered

lines, and the corallites are destitute of walls, and are united with one another throughout

their entire height by the confluence of their septa. The number of septa appears to be from
fifty to sixty, and they carry arched striae on their sides, and spine-like processes on their
edges, precisely as in the genus Heliophyllum.

Walpole.

This species agrees in all the essential details of its structure with the preceding ; but
the corallites are considerably smaller, having an average diameter of not more than half an
inch, whilst the calices are only about a quarter of an inch across. The septa are from thirty-
five to fifty in number, and their edges are denticulated with minute spines.

Locality and Formation. — Common in the Corniferous Limestone of the Townships of
Walpole and Oneida.

220, Stromatopora nulliporoides (Nicholson).

Fossil (" Sarcodeme") forming thin crusts, generally from one quarter of a line to half a
line in thickness, growing parasitically upon the exterior of corals. Surface conforming with
that of the body on which it is parasitic, quite smooth and apparently compact and imperfo-
rate. Under a high magnifying power, the surface appears to be obscurely dotted, indicating
the existence of minute pores. Here and there, also, irregularly distributed, are circular
openings about one quarter of a line in diameter ; but these are only occasionally present, and
often cannot be detected at all. The surface usually presents more or less numerous conical
projections or eminences, from half a line to one line in height ; but these appear to be usually
imperforate at their summits. The internal structure is composed of horizontal laminae,
separated by vertical dissepiments, about ten laminae occupying the space of one line.

This species is allied to S. granulata, (Nich.), and S. striatella, (D'Orb.,) but is distin-
guished by forming thin crusts which are attached parasitically to foreign bodies by the whole
of their inferior surfaces ; by the smooth, non-granulate, non-tuberculate and apparently solid
and imperforate surface ; and by the general presence of numerous small, sharp-pointed,
conical eminences. The fossil, in its general appearance very closely resembles the crusts of
a NuUipore ; but there is no doubt as to its being a genuine Stromatopora. All the exam-
ples which I have seen are investing specimens of Cystiphyllum vesiculosum (Goldfuss).

Locality and Formation. — Hamilton formation; Arkona, Also in the Corniferous Lime-
stone, Port Colborne .

221. Ceramopora Huronensis (Nicholson j.
(Plate II., Fig. b-5a.)

Polyzoary forming small patches or crusts, of a rounded or irregular form, from one
quarter to one-third of a line in thickness, growing parasitically upon foreign bodies, and
rarely exceeding three or four lines in diameter. Cells radiating from a central or excentric

78

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 8.) A. 1874

point, about six in the space of one line, partially immersed, elevated towards their mouths,
which are of a sub-triangular or crescentic form when perfectly preserved.

This species resembles young examples of Ceramapora Ohioensis (Nicholson) ; but is
distinguished from adult examples of the same by forming small parasitic crusts, composed of
a single layer of cells, which radiate from a central point. The cells also are to a much
greater extent immersed than is the case in C. Ohioensis, and are not so closely set. From C.
incrustans (Hall), the present species is separated by its smooth, not nodulose or tuberculated
surface. C. Huronensis somewhat resembles the figures of Berenicea {Diastopora ?) irregularis
'(Lonsd.), but the latter is stated to possess round cell-mouths, and the published description
is not sufficient to allow of a detailed comparison.

Locality and Formation. — Hamilton Group ; Arkona. Growing on the exterior of Cys-
tiphyllum vesieulosnm and Heliojphyllum Ualli.

Genus Heterodictya (Nicholson).

Polyzoary (?) forming a simple, flattened, unbranched, two-edged frond, with sub-parallel
sides ; consisting of two series of cells, the bases of which rest upon opposite sides of a thin
longitudinally-striated central membrane or laminar axis, from which they are directed obli-
quely outwards in opposite directions. The cells open in longitudinal rows on the two flat or
slightly convex surfaces of the frond, and have the form of more or less cylindrical tubes,
which are septate or divided transversely by a series of well developed tahulce. Cell-mouths
unknown.

In most essential characters, and in genferal appearance, the genus Heterodictya entirely
resembles Ptilodictya. We have, however, the very anomalous, and very important feature
that the cells in the present genus are as thoroughly and regularly tabulate as in the genus
Chcetetes. This clearly necessitates the removal of Heterodictya from Ptilodictya, and estab-
lishes a very interesting transitional link between the Polyzoa and the Tabulate Corals. I am
only acquainted with a single species referable to this genus, but this is of large size.

222. Heterodictya gigantea (Nicholson).

(Plate II., Fig. la, b, c, d, e.)

Poly^ary (?) forming a single, flattened, unbranched, two-edged frond, the dimensions
of which are unknown, though certainly very great. The largest specimen observed, expands
gradually in width in proceeding from the base upwards. Its length is three inches and a-
quarter, the breadth of the broken base is nine lines, and the breadth of the broken distal
extremity is fifteen lines. Both ends of this fragment are broken away, and its real length
may be estimated with every probability as being at least half a foot. The edges of the frond
are quite sharp, and its thickness in the centre is two lines. Its cross section is thus acutely
elliptical, and the two poriferous surfaces are gently and regularly convex, without any central
angulation. The frond is completely divided into two halves, by a central laminar axis, which
is marked by longitudinal striae, corresponding with the rows of cells, but does not exhibit
transverse arched striae. The cells are arranged in longitudinal rows, in three series. The
first series is central, and consists of a few rows in which the successive cells are themselves
longitudinal, and are not obliquely disposed. The remaining two series of rows are lateral,
and each consists of a number of rows in which the cells are directed obliquely outwards and

79

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 8.) A. 1874

upwards as regards the direction of the row itself. The general arrangement of the cells is
thus penniform. There are about six rows of cells in one line measured transversely, and
thus there are ninety rows altogether at the broader end of the frond. There are four or five
cells in the space of one line measured longitudinally, and the cells alternate in contiguous
rows. The cells have the form of cylindrical tubes directed upwards towards the surface *at an
angle of about 70° with the laminar axis. Each tube is partitioned oflF transversely by well
developed^tabulse. Most of the tabulae are complete ; but some do not quite reach across the
tube ; and there are five or six of them in the space of one line. The bases of the cells, as
seen by decortication of the laminar axis, have mostly the form of narrow ovate slits. The*
free surfaces of the frond, and consequently the character of the cell-mouths are unknown.

This remarkable form resembles Ptilodictya lanceolata (Goldfuss), in its general shape
and in the penniform arrangement of its cells ; and it seems by no means impossible that the
latter species may ultimately be shown to possess tabulate cells, and thus to belong to the genus
Heterodidya. Under any circumstances, however, F. lanceolata is separated from the present
form by its comparatively diminutive dimensions ; and I know of no other recorded species of
the genus Ptilodictya with which Beterodictya gigantea could be confounded.

Locality and Forviation. — Rare in the Corniferous Limestone of Jarvis, Township of
Walpole. (Collected by Mr. George Jennings Hinde).

223. Ptilodictya Gilberti (Meek).

{Ptilodictya Gilherti, Meek, Palaeontology of Ohio, Vol.1 , PI. XVIII, Figs. \a—c).

This species is nearly allied to P. Meeki, which I formerly described from the Corniferous
Limestone of Canada (Report on the Palaeontology of Ontario, p. 98, Fig. 34, 1874) ; but it
is distinguished by the following differences: — 1. The longitudinal rows of cells are much
wider than in P. Meeki, about four or five being present in the space of one line measured
transversely. 2. The cell-mouths have well-marked raised lips or margins, and are thus dis-
tinctly elevated above the general surface. 3. The laminar axis is marked with distinct trans-
verse arched striae. 4. The frond divides at much shorter intervals, and the mode of division
is not dichotomous, the branches being given off more or less nearly at right angles to the
main stem.

Generally speaking, therefore, P. Gilherti may be recognised by its general form and
mode of division ; the remote, quincuncially arranged cells, with their elevated mouths ; the
well-marked elevated lines between the rows of cells ; and the transversely striated axis.

Locality and Formation. — Corniferous Limestone, Jarvis. (Collected by Mr. George

Jennings Hiude).

224. Ptilodictya coscinipormis (Nicholson).

(Plate II, Fig. 2a—/).

Polyzoary rooted by a strong foot-stalk, which is partly striated longitudinally, partly
covered with the apertures of cells interspersed with numerous minute interstitial tubuli. At
the summit of the foot-stalk, the frond divides into a number of flattened branches, which
ultimately divide and coalesce with one another, so as to form a network with oval meshes.
The branches of this network are flattened and sharp-edged, with gently rounded surfaces.
Their cross-section is acutely elliptical, their thickness in the middle being half a line, their
width being two lines, and the meshes which separate them being about two lines in their long

80

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 8.) A. 1874

diameter. The sharp borders of the branches are marked with longitudinal and oblique striae,
interspersed with the apertures of minute tubuli, a complete margin of this nature surrounding
each mesh of the terminal network. The cells are not disposed in longitudinal rows separated
by elevated lines ; but are arranged quincuncially so as to form two series of intersecting
curved diagonals. The cell-mouths are regularly oval, each with a distinct rim, not elevated
above the general surface, about six or seven of them occupying the space of one line measured
diagonally. The interspaces left by the apposition of the oval cell»mouths are ent&ely filled
by very minute interstitial tubuli, the apertures of which are circular or oval.

This beautiful species forms in many respects a transition between the typical Ptilodidyce
and the thin reticulated expansions to which the name of Clathroporaov Coscinium has been ap-
plied. It is distinguished by the following more important characters : — 1. The mode of growth
is peculiar. The polyzoary springs from a strong and thick root-stalk, from the top of which
proceed several branches, which do not lie in the same plane, but are so disposed as to form a
tuft or cluster similar to that of such a recent form as Flustra truncata. These branches sub-
divide, and their divisions inosculate so as to form a network, the characters of which are
similar to those of Glathropora. 2. The cells are not arranged in longitudinal rows separated
by elevated lines. 3. The cell-mouths are oval, and are quincuncially disposed. 4. All the
interstices between adjacent cells are filled up with numerous minute interstitial tubuli, simi-
lar tubules being present on the striated margins of the braaches, and over considerable
portions of the footstalk. The only example, I have seen, is growing upon Heliaphyllum Halli,
to the exterior of which the footstalk is attached by a widely expanded base.

225. Fenestella Davidsoni (Nicholson).
(Plate III. Fig. 3a--c.)

Frond small, flabelliform, the branches (" interstices ") keeled on both sides of the frond
with very high, thin, and sharp-edged carinas. Three or four branches in the space of one
line, dividing dichotomously, usually with great regularity, at intervals of from two to three
lines. Both the branches and the keels are more or less wavy or sinuous, sometimes as regu-
larly so as in some^Eeteporce ; and the dissepiments are very wide, deeply sunk below the level
of the cellulifierous surface of the frond, and looking as if formed by anastomosis of the bran-
ches. The dissepiments are about one-third of a line in width, and do not carry cells. The
fenestrules are oval, about one-third of a line long, very slightly longer than wide, alternately
placed in contiguous rows, about two of them in one line, measured longitudinally. Cell-
mouths rounded or transversely oval, about three of them opposite to each fenestrule. Non-pori-
ferous side of the branches smooth, with the same thin, sharp and prominent keel as is seen
on the celluliferous side.

This species, in its mode of growth and division, and in the sharpness of the carina be-
tween the rows of cells, strongly resembles F. Milleri (Lonsdale); but the latter is stated to
possess narrow and slender dissepiments, placed two lines apart, with fenestrules five or six
times longer than wide, about twelve pores going to the length of a fenestrule. I cannot
therefore, but think that the present species is clearly distinct, and I have dedicated it to my
friend, Thomas Davidson, Esq., F.R.S., one of the most eminent of living palaeontologists. F.

Davidsoni is distinguished by its regularly dichotomising branches, with prominent sharp-edged
keels on both sides ; the undulated character of the branches, and the great width of the
dissepiments, which look as if formed by the anastomosis of the branches, whilst the fenestrules
are little longer than wide. In the aspect of the celluliferous surface and the sinuous course
of the branches, the species makes a close approach to some species of the genus Eetepora ;
but the presence of non-poriferous dissepiments, and the existence of a keel separating two
rows of cells seem suflBicient to justify the reference of the species to Fenestdla. The keels are
so prominent that specimens, especially when viewed from the non-celluliferous side often
exhibit nothing except these structures projecting above the matrix.

Crania Hamilionice, Hall, Thirteenth Report on the State Cabinet, p. 77.
Crmiia Eamiltonice, Hall, Pal. N. Y. Vol. IV, p. 27, PI. Ill, Figs. 17—23.

Ventral valves of this fine species of Crania are not uncommon in the Hamilton Forma,
tion, adhering to the epitheca of Gystiphyllum vesiculosum. They are readily recognised by
the presence of four strong impressions for the adductor muscles, the two posterior being dis-
tant, and the two anterior placed near together with the pit for the protractor muscles between
them. The valve is somewhat oval in shape, and about six or seven lines in diameter when
fully grown.

Locality and Formation. — Hamilton group, Arkona.

227. Spirifera granulifera (Hall).

Spirifera granidifera, Hall, Tenth Report on the State Cabinet, p. 1 63 and Pal. N. Y.
Vol. IV, p. 223, PI. XXXVI.

This handsome species of Spirifera has not, so far as I am aware, been hitherto recognised
in Canada. Mr. George Jennings Hinde, however, last summer collected a number of Spiri-
fers from the Hamilton Formation of Ravenswood, which agree in all essential respects with
the above form. Hall describes the species as having the entire surface of the plications, fold
and sinus covered by extremely fine interrupted longitudinal striae, whicji form numerous
minute pustules or short slender spines, which give a strongly granulose aspect to the shell.
This distinguishing character, however, can only be seen, where the outer surface of the shell
has been well preserved. This species, according to Hall, has a very wide distribution in
the Hamilton Formation, it having been found in Maryland and Virginia, as well as in various
parts of the State of New York.

Locality and Formation. — Hamilton Formation ; Ravenswood, Township of Bosanquet.

Spirifera sculptilis, Billings, Canadian Journal, New Series, Vol. VI, p. 262, Fig. 79.

Mr. Billings enumerates this species with some doubt as occurring in the Hamilton For-
mation. I have, however, undoubted examples from this horizon. The species is readily re

cognised by the presence of from three to five elevated plications on each side of the mesial
fold and sinus ; these plications being crossed by strong imbricating concentric striae, and leav-
ing a well-marked space at each cardinal angle which is corrugated by the concentric strige
alone.

231. Spirorbis anoulatus (Hall).
Spirarbis angulatus, Hall, Fifteenth Report on the State Cabinet, p. 112.

" Discoid or very slightly ascending, making two or more volutions ; outer volution ro-
bust ; the transverse diameter greater than the dorso-ventral, and the sides sometimes sub-
angular. Surface lamellose striate, the lamellae undulating and sometimes crowded into ridges,
and the upper angular side sometimes nodose. *'The aperture is rounded or oval, and usually
nearly rectangular to the plane of volution, but sometimes turned upwards." (Hall, loc cit).

I have two or three specimens of a. Spirorbis, growing upon Spirigera spiriferoides, which
agree in their characters with the above description. The entire spiral is about three-fourths
of a line in diameter, and the longest diameter of the tube at its mouth is half a line. The
species is distinguished by its surface characters, the ventricosity of the last turn of the tube,
and the elevation of the aperture at right angles to the plane of volution. It is a dextral
species, and is much larger than S. Arkonensis (Nich.) ; whilst its transverse striation is much
less regular and close than it is in the latter species.

Lomlity and Formation. — Hamilton formation ; Widder.

232. Spiroribis spinuliperus (Nicholson)

Tube dextral, of two and a half volutions, evenly rounded, and not angulated or carinated,
diameter of the entire spiral nearly two lines, the diameter of the tube near the mouth being
about three-fourths of a line. The tube is broken close to the mouth ; but the last volution

is elevated, and the tube is consequently deeply umbi-
licated on the free side. There is, however, nothing to
lead one to suppose that the aperture did not open very
nearly in the plane of the spiral. Surface, with fine
transverse striae, and also vrith numerous strong spini-

APPENDIX.

HOLOPEA ? OCCIDENTALIS (Nicholson).

Shell conical, with a small but elevated spire ; whorls five, convex, with the greatest con-
vexity in the upper fowth ; body-whorl extremely large, occupying nearly three-fourths of the
length of the shell, moderately expanded towards the aperture, at which point it is almost
free. Aperture circular. In the cast there is a large umbilicus.

The length of the shell is twenty-one lines, the width of the
base (including the aperture) is nineteen lines ; the height of
the body-whorl is fifteen lines, the height and width of the
aperture, each nearly nine lines, the width of the umbilicus
is four lines, and the height of the spire is about six lines. The
surface characters are unknown.

It is impossible to feel certain whether this form is rightly
referable to Holopea or not, though its general characters
would lead us to place it in this genus. The species i^ distin-
guished by its short but elevated spire, its large body-whorl.
Fig. Oo"'^'^ becoming almost disjunct at the aperture, its circular aperture,

Holopea '< occidentalis (Nicholson), and its large umbilicus. The upper whorls are almost uni-
Formltion!^" ^°™ e ue p ^^^^^j convex, but the body-whorl is obtusely angulated at
about its upper fourth, being somewhat flattened from this point to the suture. The suture
is deep. There are no traces of a band or carina.

Formation and Locality. — Guelph Limestone, Elora. -

Genus Leptobolus (Hall).
The genus Leptobolus has been proposed by Hall (Twenty- fourth Annual Report on the
State Cabinet, p. 226) for certain minute Licguloid shells, which occur in the Utica slates
of New York and Iowa, and the Hudson Kiver Group of Ohio. The shell in this genus is
semiphosphatic, fragile, minute, elliptical, or sub-circular, with usually moderately convex
valves, marked externally with concentric striae. The ventral valve shows a distinct area
and a pedicle-groove, with an elevated sub-quadrate muscular area in the interior. The
interior of the dorsal valve shows slightly elevated trifid muscular impressions.

I am not aware that shells of this genus have as yet been recognised as occurring in
Canada, but I have found examples to be tolerably numerous in the Utica slates of Colling-
wood and Whitby. Hall defines three species of the genus, all difiering in slight peculiari-
ties of shape, and I should be inclined to refer the Canadian examples to his Leptobolus
insignis. The shell is extremely minute, rarely exceeding one line in length, orbicular, or
broadly ovate, with regularly convex valves, which are marked externally by concentric lines
of growth and fine radiating striae.

Locality and Formation. — Abundant in the Utica slates of Nottawasaga Bay and

Whitby.

Of the 27,552 births registered, 14,285 were male, 13,248 were temales, and 19 sex not
given, shewing an increase over last year's return of 4,185.

It is found that in nearly every county there are more males born than females, and a
notable circumstance in connection with that excess is, that it maintains nearly th« same ratio
every year.

In 1872, the excess of males over females in Ontario was 1,027, and in 1873 the differ-
ence in favour of males, 1,037.

The birth of 200 pair of twins is returned in 1873 against 76 pair in 1872. One case
of triplets is reported as having been born in the County of Hastings.

229 births are returned as illegitimate.

The following Table will shew the increase or decrease (as the case may be) in the differ-
ent counties between the number of births registered in the years ending 31st December, )872,
and Slst December, 1873 : —

This table gives the return of marriages for the year ending 31st December, 1873,
according to the religious denomination of the parties married, and also shews whether they
were married by license or banns — the total number being 10,998 couples an increase of 548
over 1872.

-The Marriage License Act passed last Session, and which came into operation in July
last, will doubtless have the effect of causing a very large increase in the number of Registra-
tions for 1874. Last year's report indicated 197 marriages as having been returned without
giving the religious denominatins of the parties. In the year under review^ 131 marriages
are so returned, which is certainly an improvement, but there seems no reason why the
clergyman performing the ceremony should not in all cases be able to ascertain the religious
denomination of the parties at the time of celebration, and it is hoped that they will be more
particular upon this point in the future.

The table hereunder shews the number of marriages celebrated during each month of
the year under review.

The maximum number of marriages (1243) occurred in December. The holiday season
seems to be the favourite peri d for entering into the marriage relation. The minimum
number of marriages (606), took place in the month of August or less than one half of that of
December, and which in some degree may be accounted for, by the fact that August being the
harvest month is the busiest season of the year among the farming community who compose a
iTge portion of the population of this Province.

The number of marriages by quarterly returns shew the following : —

Here we have exhibited an increase over last year's return of 324.

It will be seen that the mortality amongst children under three years of age is nearly as
great as that of 1872, being 26.5 per cent, of the whole number. This apparently high aver-
age may be accounted for by taking into consideration all the diseases and accidents to which
this period of life is specially liable.

From those causes, in all countries, the first half decade of life shews a higher rate of
mortality then any other ten year.s. Tn England the ratio is much higher than this, being 25
per cent, during the first twelve months, and 41 per cent, during the first five years: —

Sessional Papers (Xo. 9.)

A. 1874

Fourteen persons were returned in 1872 as having arrived at the patriarchal age of 100
years and upwards. The Department instituted inquiries as to the fact of these persons having
attained the extraordinary ages mentioned, the result being that no reliable information has
been obtained, except perhaps in the caee of x\nn Dewitt, who. is returned as having died at
the age of 101 years.

The proof is taken from the Family Bible, and re;ids as follows : —
" Annatie Snyder is born the 2'Jth September. A.D. 1770. on a Friday."
The following entry also appears recurded in the same book : " She was afterwards n-
ried to Paul Sax. 8th May, 1790. On the 4th December, 1804, she married Peter Dewitt.
There are four children by the first husband, and six by the second."

The f illowinu- Table will shew the increase or decrease (as the case may be) in the diffe-
rent Counties between the number of deaths registered in the year ending 31st December,
1872, and blst December, 1873 : —

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 9.) A. 1874

This Table shews the different causes of death, and the number returned from encli
County in the Province : —

In the returns for 1872, the ten highest causes of death appeared as follows :—

Phthisis 1,120

Scarlatina 642

Old age 545

Pneumonia 514

Diarrhoea 407

Heart disease 350

Dysentery 342

Exhaustion 332

Typhoid Fever 329 ♦

Brain disease 318

While for the year under review the ten highest are : —

Phthisis 1,217

Old age 778

Lung disease 533

Typhoid Fever. 401

Heart disease. 399

Cerebro Spinal Meningitis 324

Stomach disease 321

Brain disease 278

Pneumonia 276

Cholera Infantum 276

In this Table, Phthisis still heads the list being the cause of death of one ninth, or
11 per cent, of the whole number returned.

This ratio corresponds to that observed in England, which varies from 10.5 to 12 per
Cent., but is considerably less than in some other countries.

The deaths in Massachusetts are 178 in every 1,000.
" Scotland, 113 " "

" Ontario, 110 " "

This disease is as wide-spread as civilization. Its main causes are hereditary influence
and improper health regimen, and when sanitary knowledge shall have become co-extensive
with the race, we may e."pect some amelioration from it, but not before.

No age is exempt from this scourge, but the greatest majority of deaths occur between
the ages of 25 and 35.

Deaths from old age have increased in number, so that it now stands the second on the
list. This fact is very gratifying as it incontestibly proves the general salubrity of our
climate.

'J he general healthfulness of the occupation of the majority of the population also con-
duces to this result.

Another fact in favour of general longevity is, that, the Cities of Ontario are not too over-
crowded, neither has this Province a large pauper class, which considerably increases the rate
of mortality in older countries.

Lung disease stands next in order of frequency. This takes the place of Pneumonia,
which was next in order to old age in last year's report. It would be more satisfactory if
those registering a death from disease of the lungs were more particular in ascertaining the
distinctive form of this disease.

The total number of deaths from disease of the respiratory organs, viz : — Laryngitis,
Bronchitis, Pleurisy, Pneumonia, Asthma and Lung disease was, 1,147 or 10.3 per cent. In
Englan the deaths from Bronchitis were next in number to those from Phthisis, while of

26

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 9.) A. 1874

the whole class, the rate is much hij^her than here. The dryness of the atmosphere and the
absence of densely populated cities, afford Ontario a comparative immunity from this class
of disease.

Typhoid Fever shews the large increase of 72 over last year.

The ascertained causes of this disease are the contamination of drinking water and of
the atmosphere by human excreta and decaying animal and vegetable matter. Tf building
sites were properly drained and all communications with the sewers properly trapped, so as to
prevent the escape of sewer gas into the houses, and if all wells lialile to sewerage contamina-
tion were filled up, Typhoid Fever would be probably reduced to a minimum.

Sanitary enactments enforcing the continued cleanliness, especially of towns and cit e
will appear of infinite importance if it is borne in mind that they will not only decrease he
death rate from this cause, and also lessen the general rate of mortality ; but notably those
caused by Zymotic diseases, thus saving every year a large number of useful lives to the
country.

The following Counties shew an increase in the number of deaths from this disease, viz : —

The number of deaths from heart disease is still increasing, so that it now stands fifth on
the list, being in the ratio of thirty-six to every one thousand deaths. It is not yet however so

high as in some older couq tries. In England there are forty -nine to every one thousand
deaths. In Scotland thirty-nine to every one thousand deaths. The cause of this increase is
attributable in a great measure to the-ever-increasing number of those who enter into mer-
cantile and other pursuits, in which there is a great deal of worry and anxiety. »

These depressing mental emotions injuriously affect the heart's action, and frequently l;iy
the foundation of future disease.

Cerebro Spinal Meningitis has been a frequent cause of death during the last year, 324
persons having died from it. This did not appear as a special form of disease in 1872 ; as it
was comparatively inoperative, they were classed amongst cases of Cephalitis and spinal dis-
ease, the total number of which was 59. If three-fourths of this return (a large proportion,;
be taken as cases of Cerebro Spinal Meningitis we have still an increase of 279 cases.

Though this disease has always been more or less prevalent in the United States, yet
it was almost unknown in Canada till the last few years. It prevailed in an epidemic form
throughout the whole Province during the year.

Exposure to cold and damp are causes of this disease, but those who habitually disobey
the laws of health are specially liable to contract it. Where, therefore, a village or section is
thus predisposed, a succession of cold damp weather is sufficient to cause it to appear as an
epidemic. This fact is proved by it thus appearing amongst soldiers, when they are badly
housed and fed, with a liberal allowance of deleterious liquor.

Insufficiency of food in quantity or quality, and overcrowding, as sumetimes occurs in
workhouses, also predisposes to it. This has been proved by its sometimes prevailing in these
places, and leaving the surrounding neighbourhood unmolested.

Stomach disease comes next in order, and has, apparently, increased very much. In
1872, the number returned was 1.31, while in the year under review the number was 321, or
an increase of 115 per cent.

This class calls for but little comment. A general avoidance of excess in spirituous
liquors, and other intemperate habits, would materially lessen the mortali-y from this disease.

The number of deaths from brain disease appears to have decreased since last year, being
only 278 agatnst 318 for 1872. Nothing, however, is indicated by the apparent decrease for
a single year. Diseases of the brain depend on causes which are very uniform in their action,
such as hereditary influence, habit, and mode of life, country, climate, &c.

The number of decedents from this cjuse are much less than in Europe, but when our
cities grow large and overcrowded, and when we have large classes engaged in a struggle for
bare subsistence^, our deaths from this cause will likely correspond nearly to theirs.

Pneumonia shows a marked decrease. Last year it occupied the fourth place, having
caused 514 deaths, this year, only 276 are reported. The frequent sudden changes in tem-
perature, especially during spring and autumn, incident to our climate, will always make this
a prominent death-factor. It is most fatal during the winter months.

The deaths in Massachusetts are 6 in every 1,000
England " 5 " •'

" Scotland " 3 " '•

" Ontario nearly 2 " "

Diarrhoea also shows a decrease ; last year it occupied the sixth place, this year the
twelfth, having been the cause of 237 deaths as against 407 last year.

Failure of appetite during the heat of summer, leading to dietetic indiscretions, is no
doubt (in addition to miasmatic influences) a frequent cause of this disease.

A more correct appreciation of the laws of health by the people, together with better
drainage, will lessen the number of deaths from this disease.

A. 1874

Taking from the whole number of deaths registered, all those under twenty-one years of
age, and all whose ages were not given, there remain to be accounted for, 5,980, while
only 5,099 give their occupations, leaving 881 without any calling assigned to them.

To understand the correct bearing of this table, it will be necessary to remember
the comparative number of the population engaged in each occupation ; where the number
ensa^ed in any particular calling is very small, the per centage of deaths to the whole num-
ber will be correspondingly small.

This table also shews that nearly one-half the whole number whose occupations and
ages are here given, were cultivators of the soil or closely connected therewith. The average
age attained by these 2,326 persons was, 56.82 years.

The average age of all deaths of twenty-one and over, whose calling and ages were
returned, is 52.

The following will shew the occupations and average ages of those who died over the
age of 52, and those who died under : —

REPORT

OF THE

ffiottttnb^iott^ii of l^ttBIIr WokI^,

FOR THE

PROVINCE OF ONTARIO,

FOR THE YEAR 1874.

To His Excellency, the Honourable John Crawford, Lieutenant-Gover-
nor of the Province of Ontai'io, etc., etc.

In compliance with the " Act respecting the Public Works of Ontario," the following
Report is presented as a record of the transactions of this Department for that part of the
present year already elapsed.

The usual reports from^ the officers of the Department will explain the details of the
operations connected with the erection of Public Buildings in course of construction, the ad-
ditions, improvements and repairs to others, and the works respecting the improvement to
navigation, the Free Grant settlements, the drainage of lands and extension of Railways.
The details of these reports give the principal items of expenditure in the several Public,
Buildings and Works ; but the full statement cannot be prepared until the close of the fiscal
year on the 31st of December next.

Public Buildings.

The improvement and repairs required for the Government House, Parliament and De-
partmental Buildings, Osgoode Hall, Toronto Normal School, and other buildings, are fully
detailed in the reports.

The works connected with the erection of the Central Prison, which were commenced in
1871, were continued in 1872 and 1873, and finally completed in July last.

It is to be noticed that the total expenditure on capital account, in connection with the
Central Prison, exceeds four hundred thousand dollars, but the explanation of this expendi-
ture lies in the facts that the original plans and specifications were prepared and the contract
given out in 1871, without the site for the prison or the industrial occupations of the prisoners

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 15.) A. 1874

having been first decided upon ; that when the site was selected in the year 1871 a large and
unexpected outlay had to be undertaken in the erection of additional foundations, the con-
structing of drains, the filling in and grading of the prison grounds, the procuring a sufficient
and suitable water supply, and for other matters occasioned by the uneven site ; that consi-
siderable progress had been made under the original contract before any industrial occupation
for the prisoners had been determined upon, and this, when settled, involved the alteration
of the workshops and similar buildings, some wholly and others partly, and the putting up
of new buildings, the erection of foundations, &c., for machinery, the purchase of [engines,
boilers, machinery, shafting, gearing, &c., the fitting up and equipping of a foundry, the ex-
tension of the prison area, and the consequent extension of the prison walls, and other simi-
lar changes ; that, during the further progress of the buildings, it was determined for the sake
of economy to enlarge the prison, so that it might be a Central Prison for the whole Pro-
vince— the intention in the first place being that three such prisons should be maintained ;
that various other alterations were necessarily made in the plans upon the recommendation
of the Prison Inspector, and with the view of making the prison more safe, substantial and
complete in all its details ; that these changes occasioned a great deal of extra work, for which
the contractor claimed prices much in advance of those which he was entitled to receive under
his contract, and advanced prices for these extras were, on reference to an arbitration,
allowed to the I contractor ; and, finally, that after the giving out of the contract, the
prices of labour and materials very greatly increased, so much so that the contractor alleged
that he was losing at least thirty-five to forty per cent, upon each dollar's worth of work
done by him under his contract, and these increased prices of labour and materials continuing
down to the time of the completion of the building, the consequence was that, on the finishing
of the prison being taken in hand by the Government, the outlay in that respect was larger
than was to have been anticipated. These and other reasons, which, in the Reports of my
Predecessor and in the Reports accompanying this will be found more particularly referred
to, occasioned the increased but necessary expenditure on the capital account of the Central
Prison, but I am able to assert confidently that, now that the prison is completed, the Pro-
vince of Ontario is possessed of the finest and most complete institution of its class on this
continent.

The construction of the Inebriate Asylum at Hamilton, and the Normal School, Ottawa,
has been proceeded with in the previous part of this year and will be continued during the
winter, so that both of these buildings will be completed next season.

Tenders for the construction of both these buildings were regularly advertised for and
received, but the prices named in the lowest tenders being higher than it was deemed advis-
able to expend in either instance, it was decided to omit certain portions of the buildings con-
tained in the original plans. To do this, advantage was taken by my Predecessor of the clause-
in the specifications and ordinary form of contracts in use in the Department, whereby the
Department, through its Architect, is at liberty to order alterations in or omissions from the
original plans and specifications • and to have the value thereof decided either by the schedule
of prices, if any, annexed to the contract, or otherwise by the judgment of the Architect,
Accordingly a particular and careful estimate was in each instance made by the Architect
of the value of the omitted work, and such value being deducted from the prices fixed in the

vi

tenders received, the contracts for these buildings respectively were given out at the reduced
prices, to the parties whose tenders had been the lowest.

Details of operations with respect to other buildings are given in the accompanying

report.

Public Works.

The improvement of the navigable inland waters of the Province is reported to have
been very beneficial, and to have added greatly to the development of various portions of the
Province.

The construction of roads and farm buildings in the Townships of Ryerson and Spence,
has induced a large number of Immigrants to settle in these townships, in addition to the
settlers who have availed themselves of the Act in that behalf.

The drainage of marsh lands has largely increased under the facilities afforded by the
passage of the recent Drainage Acts, and in every instance the results have been very bene-
ficial to the localities and have materially increased the value of the lands drained. Full de-
tails are given in the Engineer's Report on the drainage works in progress and projected.

Railway extension, induced in great part by the aid afforded from the subsidies granted
by the Legislature, shows a steady progress, and capitalists have thereby been induced to
invest in constructing lines of railway which are certain to afford additional facilities for the
development of the natural resources of the Province in all directions. These new railways
are not only opening up a large field of labour to Immigrants and others, but they are
directly and materially advancing the settlement of those portions of the country which they
traverse.

REPORT

OF

THE ARCHITECT, ETC.

Department of Public Works, Ontario,

Toronto, November 26, 1874.

Sir — I have the honour to submit the following Annual Report : — <

Government House.

The forcing-house for which an appropriation of $1,500 was made to complete the
building, was finished in the early part of this year, and has been found useful for the in-
tended purpose.

The improvements made in the heating apparatus of the Conservatory have been found
satisfactory, and no further expense, beyond those of ordinary repairs, has been required.

The necessary furniture and plants for which appropriations were made have been sup-
plied, and no further present expenditure in capital account will be wanted.

An appropriation for ordinary repairs might be included under the head of maintenance

Parliament and Departmental uildinqs.

The expenditure on account of these buildings and grounds, has been for completing the
fence, making roads and sidewalks, improving and taking care of the grounds, and providing
furniture and furnishings for the several ■ departments, and more particularly for the rooms
lately added to the centre building for the accommodation of the members, including recep
tion and smoking rooms.

The usual appropriations for ordinary repairs, for the centre building, east and west
wings, to be included in the estimates for the several departments occupying these buildings,
will be required.

The building on the corner of ^imcoe and Wellington streets has been fitted up and
occupied as offices for the Hon. Attorney-General, the Public Works, and Immigration
Departments.

The removal of the two latter departments from the centre portion and east wing of
the Parliament buildings, has afforded the additional accommodation required by other De-
partments in the east wing, and three rooms have been restored to the centre portion for the
purposes of Legislation.

The contract for filling at the eastern portion of the grounds, was completed in April last.

Central Prison, Toronto.

The north wing of this Prison was occupied on the 1st of June, and the centre building
and south wing were ready for occupation on the 1st of July.

The boundary wall and outbuildings, consisting of the laundry, coal shed, and water
closets, were fully completed about the 14th of July, at which date the Prison may be con-
sidered as finished.

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 15.) A. 1874

The construction of the roads, and gravelling the yards, which were included in Mr.
Elliott's contract, were deferred until the Prison was occupied, so that the labour of some of
the prisoners might be made available. Accordingly on the 29th of June, the work was
commenced under the superintendence of a competent foreman, and has been continued to
the present time ; the work having been laid out, and the levels given by the assistants in the
Department.

The road from the entrance gate on Strachan Avenue, to the Prison entrances and yard,
was graded 20 feet in width, 18 of which was macadamized and gravelled, the sidewalks
being -i feet in width were al.so graded, and planks bave been laid recently on the north side
of the roadway to the building, by prison labour, the necessary material having been provided
for the purpose.

The total length of the roadways constructed as approaches to the building are 1400»
feet, and the roadways inside the yard, 1380 feet in length, and 12 feet in width, were graded,
macadamized, and gravelled, as before described.

The spaces round the workshops and buildings in the enclosure, forming an area of 4,000
superficial yards, not including the macadamized portion, were graded, and covered with
gravel three inches in thickness, the centre portion, 152 feet by 140 feet, was also graded and
prepared for sodding.

The stone and gravel having been hauled during the winter, the work was done by prison
labour, under the directions of a competent foreman, in a careful and satisfactory manner.

Some of the prisoners were also employed in clearing the open drains in the grounds, and
dressing off the surface in front of the building.

The fences enclosing the grounds were completed in August last, by the contractors,
Messrs. R. Dinnis & Co., in accordance with their tender in 1873, the fence round the outer
yard having been constructed last year, and the remaining portion deferred, as reported.

The length of the fence on Strachan Avenue is 355 feet, and 2,228 feet on the north
ana south sides of the grounds, the western portion having been omitted.

The water supply pipe to the Immigrant Sheds, has been connected with the Central
Prison pipe, as recommended last year.

The works, connected with the completion of JMr. Elliott's contract, were continued under
the superintendence of Mr. Wagner. The carpenter work, plastering, plumbing, painting,
and all other indoor work, were pushed forward as rapidly as possible, the main building and
north wing being enclosed, were heated with coal stoves and steam pipes, thereby enabling the
mechanics to work all the winter, and as soon as the weather permitted in the spring, work
was resumed on the south wing and boundary wall, the damage done by the storm of the 4th
of December last, having been repaired in the first instance, which occupied more than a
month. No further delay was experienced, and the brickwork of the south wing and boun-
dary wall was completed early in June.

A laundry building 60 feet by 40 feet, and two stories in height, also a coal shed, 104
feet by 26 feet, were built of brick, on the north side of the north workshop, so as to be con-
venient to the Railway tracks.

The lower story of the laundry is used as a bakery and wash-house, and the upper
story for bath and drying rooms.

The coal shed is lined with wooden frame work and rough sheeting to resist the pressure
of the coal outwards, and there are three large doorways on each side.

A brick building, .32 feet by 20 feet, was built near the main sewer on the south side of
the south workshop, flagged with stone, and lined with slate, as water closets for the prisoners,
guards and foremen. All the above buildings have been roofed with slate.

The Superintendent forwarded a communication early in February last, from H. M.
Melville, respecting the completion of the carpenter work, in which the latter requested that
a further arrangement should be made to increase the amount beyond what was stated in the
agreement, to complete the work.

I considered this course objectionable, and it was not conceded by the Department, the
result being that Mr. Melville abandoned the work under his agreement subsequently, and be-
cause of the urgency to have the work completed, he was employed as foreman, and the car-
penters employed by him were placed on the pay list under his directions, and the arrange
ment has been satisfactorily carried out, as regards the early completion of the work.

On Monday, the 22nd of September, 1873, four days after the possession of the works

2

I

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 15.) A. 1874

had been assumed by the Government, the workmen struck for higher wages, the demand
being on the average 25 cents per day, which was agreed to by the Superintendent, and the
increased rates were paid to the close of the building season.

The ordinary current rates were paid when the out-door work was resumed last spring,
this requiring an increase of 25 cents per day beyond winter rates.

The wages of the labourers were also increased 15 cents per day during 1873, but the
current rates were only paid in 1874.

The expenditure in connection with the construction of this building has been largely in-
creased beyond the original appropriation, owing to a variety of causes, amongst which the
following may be enumerated : —

1st. The site on which the building has been erected, was not finally determined before
the plans and specifications were prepared and approved. See Keport on Public Works, 1871,
page 25.

2nd. The appropriations for the land, buildings, and furniture were under my estimate,
and were made before the plans and specifications were prepared.

3rd. The uneven character of the site, when selected, entailed a large amount for addi-
tional foundations, filling, and drains.

4th. A separate water supply from the engine-house was rendered necessary, when the
industries connected with the Prison were determined, the Asylum pipe having proved insuffi-
cient to supply both buildings. '

5th. The alterations of tbe woi'kshops and foundry, added largely to the cost as estimated
originally, the industrial occupations not having been determined upon when the original
plans and estimates were passed.

6th. The railway tracks and additional buildings required for the construction of rail-
way cars, not contemplated in the original design of the Prison, added considerably to the cost.

7th. The expensive character of the machinery required for the construction of railway
cars, formed a large item of the increased expenditure.

8th. The lighting and additional heating of the workshops also increased the expen-
diture.

9th. The construction of the additional cells for 84 prisoners, making in all 336, not
only added considerably to the expense, but delayed the completion of the building.

10th. Increased space being required for the machinery and boilers in the workshops ;
additional buildings for the laundry, bath-rooms, coal vaults, and water closets, which were
provided for in the shops, were erected in the yard.

11th. The present foundry was erected at a much greater cost, in place of a warehouse,
less than half the size.

12th. The boundary walls and enclosure had to be extended, on account of the railway
tracks and additional buildings.

1 3th. The demand of the contractor for increased schedule prices, which was referred to
arbitration, and allowed, also increased the cost.

14th. The loss caused by an unusually severe storm on the 4th of December last, also
added to the increased expenditure.

15th. The price of labour and materials increased considerably, immediately after the
commencement of the work, so much so that the contractor alleged, that he was sustaining
from 35 to 40 per cent, of a loss on every dollar's worth of work done by him under his con-
tract, and this increase in the value of labour and materials continued down to the final com-
pletion of the work, and added largely to the expenditure, on account of extras, whilst the
works remained in the hands of the contractor, and likewise in respect of the work done after
the Government assumed it.

The particulars connected with the progress of the works, and the change and altera-
tions in the plans, have been fully detailed in the annual reports to your Predecessor, and
need not be repeated here.

The increased value of labour and materials, which formed the basis of the contractor's
demand for increased prices, and as before mentioned were allowed by the arbitrators, had
to be provided for in completing the building, when the possession of the work was assumed
by the Government, and was the principal cause of the over expenditure beyond the appro-
priations for this year.

Measurements have been, and are being made by competent parties, of the amount of

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers ^No. 15.) A. 1874

work done by Mr. Elliott, under his contract to the 18th of September, 1873, when posses-
sion was taken by the Government, as reported last year.

Measurements have also been, and are being, made of the work done since that time, and
statements will soon be prepared, of the total amounts of additional and omitted works, con-
nected with the original contract for the buildings, and the cost of completing them, according
to the terms of the agreement.

"When these statements are completed, an analysis of the cost can be prepared, showing
the expenditure under the several heads, so that a comparison may be made with the total
amount of the appropriations.

The Canada Car and Manufacturing Company have had full possession of the workshops
and foundry, since the 1st of July, 1873, the machinery having been completed on the 1st of
October, 1873, as reported last year.

Some alterations and improvements in the machinery and boilers were required by the
company, which were attended to at the time, and since then the machinery has been in a
satisfactory condition ; and from recent examinations, I do not expect that any further ex-
penditure will be required on account of machinery.

London Lunatic and Tdiot Asylums.

The works connected with those Institutions were continued under the superintendence
of Mr. Holden, Clerk of the "Works, whose reports are appended, explaining the details.

The cottages for attendants, on the G-overnor's Road, opposite the Asylum, were occupied
in the early part of the year, and final certificates were issued in favour of J. D. Dodd & Son,
and James Johnston, upon completion of the works as reported by the Clerk of Works.

The contractors for the erection of the cottages for Chronic Insane, Messrs. Wright and
Durand, completed the buildings early in August last, and a final certificate has been issutd
in their favour.

According to the appended report of the Clerk of the Works, the work has been done in
a satisfactory and workmanlike manner, and having made a final inspection of the works on
the 6th of August last. I concur in that statement.

The arrangements which were made last year for heating the cottages, having proved
inefficient on trial, plans and specifications for heating by steam on the low pressure principle,
were prepared and submitted for tender, but on further consideration it was decided to heat
these buildings with base burnins coal stoves, the work to be carried out under the control of
the Inspector of Asylums, ic.

Tenders were received for the repairs of the slating and galvanized iron work of the
roofs of the several buildings, as detailed in the report of the Clerk of the Works, and those of
Messrs. George Riddle and Brother, and Samuel Stewart, being the lowest, were accepted.
The work is reported to be done in a satisfactory manner, and the account of George Riddle
and Brother, for slatinc;, amounting to S200, and Samuel Stewart, for galvanized iron work,
for.S211.70, were duly certified and paid.

The brickwork of the east yard wall, which was injured by the construction of the drain,
was repaired by Messrs. Wright and Durand, at a cost of 836. G2.

As the works connected with construction and repairs were closed in September last, the
services of the Clerk of the Works were no longer required after that time. A list of materials
left on the ground after the alterations were made, was forwarded to the Bursar, to be accounted
for to the Department, and he lately informed me, that the Inspector of Asylums. &c.. directed
that these materials should be placed under care of the Medical Superintendent for future
repairs, when required.

Asylum for the Insane, London.

September 13th, 1874.^

Sir, — I have the honour to report that I have, since my report to the Honourable Oom-
missioner of Public Works, dated 10th .January last, completed the following works, vz : —
eighteen new water-closets, which are now in good working order, and in use ; six new bath
rooms also in use, and four large rooms which are occupied as bed-rooms, and accommo-
date twenty-eight patients in single beds. I also laid new floors in the old water closets,-in the

4

3 - Victoria. . Sessional Papers (No. 15.) A. 1874

three-story parts of the main buildings, and which are now used as passage ways to the new
closets ; the change of water closets necessitated the connecting of the overflow pipes from
the water supply tanks in the buildings, with the boiler houses, by carrying iron pipes across
the east and west yards under ground. T also repaired the pump in the west yard well, which
had to be made almost new, but since repaired, works well and gives good satisfaction. I
rebuilt one of the soft water tanks in front of the main buildings, which had caved in, and
repaired a second one, the other two I found would stand a few years longer.

The repairs of slate, and galvanized iron on the roof of main buildings, kitchen, laundry,
boiler houses, superintendent's residence and lodges, have been completed by the contractors,
M'!ssrs. George Riddle and Brother, slaters, and Mr. Samuel Stewart, tinsmith, and I believe,
it is as well done as it can be in repairing.

Idiot Asylum.

According to your instructions last winter, I had double windows made and placed on
the north end of the Idiot Asylum buildings, and changed the openings for foul air ventila-
tion from near the ceiling to the upper edge of the base by means of wooden ducts j also
placed double doors to front entrance of cellar, and changed smoke pipes of hot air furnaces
into -separate flues. After these changes were made, there was no further difficulty in heating
that building, and the chief attendant, Mr. William Meek, informed me that he has had no
trouble with it since.

Cottages for Chronic Insane.

I also have the honour to report to you, the final completion of the cottages for the Chronic
Insane, so far as the contract goes, which has been done in a manner highly creditable, alike
to the Contractors and Government, and cannot fail to give satisfaction to all concerned.

I also had the following work done, which was not covered in the specifications, viz. : —
Sash lifts, sash locks, sash stops to windows, and sash holders, as per your order, also two
large sinks, and one large siee cistern pump for kitchen and scullery, and one soft water cis-
tern, thirteen feet in diameter, by ten feet in depth ; the brick of tank 1 had grouted from
bottom to top with liquid mortar, made of two parts of sand to one of water lime, and plas-
tered the inside with two coats of water lime.

I also rebuilt west wall of east airing yard, which had given way when the new sewer
passed under it.

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Sir, — In your letter of the 19th of August last, requesting me to make a report as to
the efficiency of the tile drain across the west yard, repaired by me before the new drains
were constructed, I have only to state that it did its work perfectly and without any trouble,
from the time I laid it until it w^s abandoned on the completion of the new drains and
water closets.

I have the honour to be.

1 Inebriate Asylum, Hamilton.

The work on this building was resumed in April, and has been continued to the present
time, the roof having been completed last month, and the building will be fully enclosed be-

5

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 15.) A. 1874

fore the end of this month, so that the carpenter work and plumbing may be continued during
the winter.

It was thought that the frost had injured the mason work in the basement walls, and
it was considered necessary to have the work examined ; accordingly, Messrs. Wagner and
Carrol, practical builders, were, early in the spring of the present year, requested to make a
thorough examination, and they reported that the work had been well constructed, the
materials being good, and that freshly pointing the joints on the outside portion of the walls
would answer every purpose, and the work would then be as substantial as would be required,
and upon examination I agreed in this view.

During the summer the outside painting has been done as reported, and the joints on the
inside will be pointed when the plastering is in progress next year.

The Clerk of works at the School of Agriculture, Guelph, was transferred in June to
the charge of this building, and is still continued.

When the work connected with the roofs of the Blind Institute, Brantford, was in pro-
gress, he inspected the work there when required.

Deaf and Dumb Institute, Belleville.

The sum of $2,938.15 was paid to Messrs, Forin and Keith, contractors, for the com-
pletion of the dining hall, plumbing, &c. With these exceptions there has been no further ex-
penditure at this Institution during the year.

Blind Institute, Brantford.

' A claim having been made by the contractors, Messrs. Sutton, Brantford, who com-
pleted the building, for certain additional works, the same was referred to Messrs. Wagner &
MacDonald, of this city, with Mr. Watt, of Brantford, who, having investigated the several
items, made a report, which was afterwards submitted for my opinion, and having made the
necessary inquiries and examinations respecting the various items, I reported to your Prede-
cessor, and recommended the payment of the balance of §3,646.63, w^hich was found to be
due to the late contractors, and the sum of $319.08 was afterwards allowed for interest.

The Bursar's cottage was completed and occupied in the early part of the year, and the
balance due to the contractor, Mr. Watt, was paid.

Tenders were received in response to the public advertisement for the relaying of the
galvanized iron of the roofs ; the tender of Mr. (jr. Bingham, Toronto, being the lowest, was
accepted, and the work has been done in a satisfactory manner.

School of Agriculture, Guelph.

The work connected with the alterations in the original plan for adapting the building
on the Farm near Guelph for the requirements of the School, was continued during the
winter, the severe weather being the principal cause of delay. The building was, however,
sufficiently completed to be occupied by the pupils in May, and the repairs of the other build-
ings on the Farm were completed in June.

Sundry alterations and repairs were made to the other buildings and cottages on the
Farm, which were done by day's work, the accounts were certified by the Clerk of the Works,
the details of which will be found in the Public Accounts.

Norrial and Model Schools, Toronto.

ThI plans and specifications for the proposed central boiler-house, were submitted for
the approval of the Chief Superintendent on the 20th of May last, and as it was then decided
to have the water closets on each side removed, the plans were altered, and tenders having
been received in accordance with the public advertisement, Mr. Gearing's tender for the
boiler-house, $5,570, and Mr. Keith's for the plumbing work, $1,575, were accepted, and the
work has been completed in a satisfactory manner

During the progress of the works, sundry alterations and repairs in connection with the
drains and buildings were found necessary, and additional expense had to be incurred in con

6

38 Victoria. ' Sessional Papers (No. 15.) A. 1874

structing return steam pipes of a larger capacity, to increase the circulation, and as far as the
improvements have been tested, the result has been beneficial ; the buildings are now
thoroughly warmed, with a less expenditure of fuel, as stated in the Report for 1873.

Normal School, Ottawa.

On the 8th of April, I staked out tbe position of the building on the site on Elgin
street, near Cartier Square, and the contractor, Mr. J. Forin, Belleville, has proceeded ener-
getically with the work since that time, the mason work having been commenced on the 13th
of May, when the first stone was laid in the foundations. Since that time the work has
steadily progressed ; and when I inspected the building on the 4th and 5th of November, the
roof was completed with the exception of the cornice, and the building would be completely
enclosed in about a week, the sashes having been prepared and quite ready for glazing and
fitting.

The carpenters were at work in the building, preparing the finishing for the interior
portion of the work, and the plastering had been commenced in some of the rooms, the lathing
being ready for the plasterers.

Mr. James Mather, Architect, of Ottawa, was appointed Cerk of the Works, on the 19th
of June, and he has continued to discharge his duties in an efficient manner to the present
time.

Court House, &c., Sault Ste. Marie.

The lot on which the Court House was built, has been fenced in this year, tenders having
been received by Sheriff Carney in 1872, but as the balance of the appropriation was not suf-
ficient to cover the expenditure, the lowest tender, that of Mr. E. Murton, was not authorised
to be accepted by your Predecessor, until June 9th, 1873, for the sum of $675 During last
winter the cedar posts and other lumber were hauled on the ground, and the work was com-
pleted during this season.

Sherifi" Carney, who undertook to superintend the work, at the request of the Depart-
ment, reported that the materials and workmanship were according to the terms of the contract.

The fence being about 6|- feet longer than the length specified, 1,452 feet — the lot being
larger than the plan — the sum of $3 has been allowed, making the total expenditure $678, for
which certificates were issued.

The above amount comprises the whole expenditure on account of this building. There
haa been no expenditure on account of the Registry Office.

Registry Offices. — Parry Sound and Thunder Bay.

Some repairs were required to the buildings, amounting in all to $102.82. This has
been the only expenditure on account of these offices.

There has been no expenditure on account of the Lock-up at Thunder Bay, or at Silver
Islet, the question of the enlargement of the Gaol having been deferred.

Registry Office. — New District.

The plans and specifications for a Registry Office and Lock-up, to be erected at Minden,
in the Provisional County ofHaliburton, were prepared with additions, so as to afford a Court-
room and offices, with the understanding that a suitable lot should be procured, and that the
amount required beyond the appropriation of $3,000, should be borne by the County.

After due advertisement, tenders were received in June, and after some delay, until the
amount required had been voted, the tender of Messrs. Neale and Brown, for the carpenter
work, S2,655, and Daniel McLarty, for the mason work, &c., $950, were accepted, in all,
$3,605, and the building is now ready for occupation. The work was laid out and recently
inspected by an officer of the Department, Mr. Peck, the stipendiary magistrate, having un-
dertaken gratuitously to look after the work during its progress, in order to save the expense
of a Superintendent.

Befote a final certificate is given, the work will be examined by a competent officer.

There has been no expenditure on account of the Lock-up in the Nippissing District

7

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 15.) A. 1874

OsGOODE Hall.

The judges' private room for the new Court of Appeal was fitted up according to direc-
tions, and sundry repairs were made to the roof of tlie west wing, some furniture was also
provided for the offices.

General Eemarks.

The expenditure on account of the appropriations for construction connected with the
xisylum for the Insane, Toronto, and the Provincial Reformatory, Penetanguishene, have
been very small.

The work connected with the Public Buildings, excepting the Inebriate Asylum, Ham-
ilton, and the Normal School. Ottawa, has been closed for this season.

x\s the statements of the Law Clerk and Accountant, which are usually annexed to the
Report, cannot be prepared until the close of the year, a sufficient number of copies can be
struck off and presented to the Legislature during the present Session, and the statements
can be attached to the Annual Report for distribution and publication with the Sessional
Papers.

Sir, — 1 have' the honour to submit the following Report with reference to the several
works under my charge throughout, the Province, during that part of the present year, ending
on the 3 1 st of October.

Wash AGO Channel to Wharf. County Simcoe.

An appropriation of $1,000, re-voted from the previous year, was granted for improving
• the Channel of Severn River, at the outlet of Lake Couchiching, so as to give better access to
the wharf at Washago.

The work embraced the removal of a deposit of sand, mud and clay, and of a ledge of
flat gneiss rock beneath the surface of the water.

The sand, mud and clay were removed by hand dredging, which, in the absence of a steam
dredge, was the only method that could be adopted. It is a more tedious and costly method
than steam dredging, but there is no steam dredge on Lakes Simcoe, or Couchiching, and the
small quantity of material to be removed, would not have authorized the construction of one.

The rock excavation consisted in the removal of a ledge of flat gneiss rock, crossing the
boat channel, so that in low water the boats were liable to strike in passing. This has been
removed by blasting, so as to give a depth of six feet at ordinary low water, and the passage
is now easy of access. The contract for the work was let to Mr. Thomas Walters, at the rate
of $4.00 per cubic yard for the removal of rock, and 7-5 cents for the dredging of sand, mud
and clay. The work has been completed.

Sydenham River Improvements, County of Kent.

At the last Session of the Legislature, a re- vote of $644.75, was granted for settling
balances on a contract for removing obstructions from the bed of the Sydenham River. The
contrnct was made in 1871, and the work was carried on during part of that year, 1872, and
1873. The work was not well done, and on a re-measurement during the present summer, it
is reported as incomplete. The only expenditure so far this year, has been that of $31.00.
for an examination and soundings of the bed of the river, over the portion covered by the
contract, which extended from Dresden, about 6 miles westerly.

The expenditure to the close of 187.3, was $1,855 26

MusKOKA Falls Rock Excavations. — Dam and Sluices.

The works are situated at the outlet to Lake Muskoka, ia the Township of Medora,
County of Victoria. (N. Ridius;.; The original appropriation for the works was 89,000.00,
of which the following expenditure was made in 1873.

Labour and materials for dam and sluices i$2,0U8 20

Do. do. for blasting channels in rock 2,006 35

Cost of surveys and inspection 4.0 11

Total 54,434 66

And the balance was re-voted for service in the present year.

The works consisted in rock excavations by blasting for the enlargement of channels
forming the outlets to Lake Muskoka, and in the construction of a dam and sluices for the
equalization of the waters of the lake, which at extreme height has hitherto caused injury by
drowning the lands around its margin, and at extreme low water has impeded navigation,
especially in that portion of the waters between Lake Muskoka and the lock at Port Carling.

The works are now completed. They have been carried out by the Department directly,
and not under contract. The details of the expenditure in 1874, are as follows :

Labour employed on rock excavations $2,254 95

Do, do. construction of dams and sluices .. 1,590 33

Cost of tools, steel, hammers, powder, barrows, towing, &c 571 12

Do. Inspection ". 148 70

Expenditure in 1873 Jp4,'t34 66

Total cost of the works §8,999 76

Lock between Mary's and Fairy Lakes.

This work is located on the north branch of the Muskoka River, on lot 14, in the 13th
concession of the Township of Brunei, in the County of Victoria, (North Riding.)

The original appropriation was S20,0U0, of which §1,019.31 was expended in 1873,
leaving a re-vote of $18,980.69, for 1874.

The dimensions of the lock are as follows .

Extreme length of walls 162 feet.

Length of chamber from point to point of mitre sills 88 feet 6 inches.

Width of chamber 24 feet.

Lift of lock 8 feet.

Height of walls above floor of chamber 16 feet.

A channel 600 feet in length is being formed above the lock to connect it with the rirer
above the dam, and this is protected by a crib work entrance with stop-checks, so that the
water can at any time be shut off for repairs of the channel and basin above the lock. The
contract was let in June, 1873, for the sum of S1G,900. The greater part of the timber was
got out during the past winter, and the work has bees carried on in a satisfactory manner
during the present year.

it is expected that the whole of the works will be completed early in January, 1875, as
they are now in a very forward state.

In addition to the works embraced in the contract, there will be some rock excavations,
which will have to be paid for as extra work.

The completion of these works will open a navigation from the foot of Mary's Lake, 13
miles by road ria Utterson from liracebridge, up the north branch of the Muskoka River into
Fairy, Vernon, ami Peninsula lakes.

These waters are now surrounded by promising settlements, the country around having
a considerable per centage of good lands interspersed amongst the high rocky hillr. The

village of Huntsville is built oa the margin of one of the lakes, and is very picturesquely
situated.

Kyerson Road Works.

The expenditure this year has been on the completion of a contri^ct of the previous
year for opening up three miles of road on the line between the 12th and 13th concessions
of the Township of Ryersou, and it is situated on ihe north side of the Maganetewan River.

An appropriation is required in 1875 for general repairs of the roads in Ryerson.

Settlers' Homistead Fund.

The re-vote on these works for 1874, amounted to $8,279.73. The works embrace a
number of clearings and houses located on selected lots in the Townships of RyertonandSpeLce,
in the Parry Sound district.

The land throughout a large portion of these townships is well spoken of, and the con-
dition of the settlement in Ryerson is satisfactory.

Before the present year the construction of houses with clearings attached, was confined
to the Township of Ryerson, as the Act 34th Victoria, chapter 5, only admitted of such works
being carried out in one township. However, it having become desirable to extend the benefit
derivable from the scheme, the clause confining the improvements to one township, has been
repealed by the " Act 37th Victoria, chapter 21," and arrangements have been made for the
erection of twelve houses with clearings of four acres for each, in the Township of Spence; all
of them fronting on or near the road leading from the head of Lake Rosseau to the Magana-
tewan River and Lake Nipissing. The lots selected for these improvements in the Township
of Spence, are the following : —

Concession A.— Lots 47, 48, 5l, 68, 69 and 71.

Concession B. — Lots 46, 47, 48, 52, and 64. Thef e lots all front on the Nipissing road.
Concession 10. — Lot 2, and Concessions 11 and 12. — Lots 8 and 9.
The works were let by contract to settlers in the locality, at the following rates : —
Chopping and clearing at ^18 per acre.
Erection of houses to wall plates, .^30 each.

Lumber for finishing works, delivered at houses at $15 per thousand feet, B.M.
Shingles delivered at houses, at $2.50 per thousand.
Window sashes made and delivered at the houses, for $1 each pair.
The carpenter work required for completing the houses, the Government supplying all
materials except tools, for $350 for the whole.

The progress made to the close of October, is as follows : —

12 houses. Walls built to wall plates, lumber, shingles, window sashes and all materials
on hand, and carpenters at wo'-k to get buildings roofed in.

6 clearings finished ; the remainder chopped and partly logged. It is| expected that the
whole will be completed and ready for occupation in January.

In the Township of Ryerson, the present position of the improvements is as follows : —
Houses and clearings are completed or in progress on the following lots : —

The number of the houses, and extent of the clearings given, are those contracted with,
and so far paid for by. the Government, under the provisions of the Act 34 Vict., cap. 5;
but in addition to thete, where clearings only have been made by the Government, in several
cases the settlers have preferred to build their own houses at their own immediate cost, and
on many of the lots the occupants have largely supplemented the original clearings of four
and five acres by clearings of their own, ranging as high as 30 acres on a lot.

There are occupants or L.catees for every one of the lots with improvements on them,
and many of these settlers are entitled to additional lots adjoining, which are also taken up.
There are also several other lots without Government improvements on which the locatees and
occupants have made their own clearings and dwellings from choice ; so that in all there are
seventy-six occupants as heads of families, on 1 ^cations of 200 acres each, and twenty-one
single persons on lots of 100 acres each, in addition to which, eight occupants have purchased
additional lots of 100 acres, making a total of 18,100 acres of the Township occupied, or that
will be occupied during the present and next years.

The expenditure this year on these works to the end of October, has been as follows: —

Payments for work on houses and clearings in Ryerson $1 ,472 00

Do. do. do. Spence 1 ,652 38

Cost of Superintendence and inspection 598 20

Total ^3,722 58

Having made a personal inspection of the works in May, I have to express the pleasure
I derived from observing the neat and thriving appearance of the settlements, which howev er,
were then labouring under the disadvantage of the recent break-up of the winter, and the re-
sult of very bad roads, not only leading to, but through the Townships selected for thecarrying
out of these works.

Trent River Bridge.

A re-vote of $2,000 was granted at the last Session, to aid the municipal authorities of
the Counties of Northumberland and Peterboro,' in the construction of a bridge across the
Trent River narrows in the Township of Seymour. The work was undertaken by the Muni-
cipalities interested, who appointed Commissioners to carry out the necessary arrrangements
for construction. These gentlemen having reported the work as completed to their satisfac-
tion, the sum of $2,000 was paid to the contractor.

Washago and Gravenhurst Road.

An appropriation of $1,200 was made at the last Session for the maintenance ©f this
road during the year 1874. A foreman and a small gang of men were employed at this
work from the middle of April to the last of October. The whole was kept in fair con-
dition throughout the season, and the expenditure for the year is completed.

The extension of the Railway from Washago to Severnbridge reduces the length of road
to be maintained in 1875 from fourteen to twelve miles, and it is to be hoped that the further
extension of the rail to Gravenhurst may be completed before the close of that year.

Balsam River Works.

Appropriation $1,200. These works are situated on the Balsam River, between Balsam
and Cameron Lakes in the Township of Fenelon, County of Victoria. They consist of a lock,
dam, slide, embankment, and swing bridge. The appropriation for 1874 was intended to
cover the cost of some flooded land above the dam, and some small works at the slide
and lock, as well as the removal of some stones in the channel above the lock, for which a
further appropriation will be required.

For the past few years tBe lock and dam have been of much service to lumbermen in
running timber, and also, for holding back a reserve of water in Balsam Lake which can be
let ofi" so as to raise the water in Sturgeon Lake in the fall months when the efiects of the dry
season is felt on the navigation of that lake ; but to the present time, no steamboat, barge, or
scow, has been constructed for the line of navigation between (^oboconk and Fenelon Falls which
it was intended to serve by the construction of these works.

Kaministiquia River.

At Thunder Bay, Lake Superior. The re-vote and appropriation for this work was for the
payment of accounts for dredging dune in 1873. (See Report en Public Works for I '73,
page 21 )

Otonabee River Works,

An appropriation of $2,000 was granted for service in 1874 for the construction of cribs
and booms below Young's lock on the Otonabee river, the intention being to assist the steam-
boats using the locks during the period when the drives of logs are passing that part of the
river. The lock is situatedat Young's Point on the river, in the Township of Smith, County
of Peterboro'.

13

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 15.) A. 1874

The appropriation is unexpended and will be required for re- vote for service in 1875.
Dams and Slides, Gull and Burnt Rivers.

An appropriation of $17,500, was granted by the Legislature at the last session, to be
expended on the construction and improve ent jof dams and slides on the lakes and streams
of the Gull and Burnt river systems, and in the repairs and improvement of Burleigh, and
other slides. The object to be attained by the construction of these works being chiefly for
the storage of water by dams, and tlie removal of obstructions by slides so as to facilitate the
transit of logs and square timber from the timber limits on the head waters of those rivers in
the extreme northerly portions of the Counties of Victoria and Peterboro', and in the pro-
visional County of Haliburton. In addition to the facilities given to the transit of timber,
these works give material assistance to navigation on the waters between Fenelon Falls Lindsay,
Bobcaygeon, Port Perry, Buckhorn, and Bridgenorth, by increasing the supply of water
when the levels of the back lakes have been lowered by evaporation and want of rain.

The expenditure is as follows :- —

Minden dam and slide — Township of Minden.

Payments for labour in construction . $4,203 91

do. timber, iron, stone, powder, (^-c . 1,97 i 94

do. for gravellino; dam 138 84

2,29 7 9S

Expenses of inspection &c 211 96

Total expenditure in 1874 (to end of October) $11,569 99

The lumbering operations having outlet through the Gull and Burnt rivers extend over
areas in the townships of Havelock, Eyre, Guilford, Harburn, Dysart, Dudley. Sherborne,
Stanhope. Minden, Snowden. Glamorgan, Hindon, Anson, Lutterworth, Somerville, and Cax-
toii.

Swing and Fixet' Bridges at Port Carling.

The sum of $3,000 was appropriated for the construction of two bridges at Port Car-
ling, one a fixed bridge across the rivor, and the other a swing bridge to span the lock. The
bridge acr ss the river has been completed, and there is timber for the structure intended to
cro-s the lock which will be built after the opening of navigation in 1875. A re-vote of the
unexpended appropriation will be n^quired for the work next year.

TiMBr.R Slide, High Falls, Muskoka River.

An appropriation of $4,000 has been granted for the construction of a slide at the High
Falls on the north branch of the Musknka River, about 1^ miles up stream from Bracebridge,
and in the Township of Macaulay. The work is intended to facilitate the running of timber
at the High Falls, and will embrace rock excavation, timber framing, and cribwork in its
construction.

Surveys ind plans have been mnde. and -$60 only have yet been expended.

Wye River Dredging.

Appropriation $8,000, unexpended.

The site for this work is at the entrance to the Wye, a small river in the Township of
Tay, County of Simcoe, which discharges into the Georgian Bay not far from Midland City.
It is navigable for small vessels as far as Casselmaa and Plewe's mills about a mile from the
Georgian Bay. The object of the appropriation is to dredge the bar so as to admit of the
entrance of a larger class of vessels than those which can now pass out when loaded with full
cargoes.

The line of the Midland Railway will cross the river between the Mills and the Bay,
an 1 it is the desire of the Railway Company to put a fixed bridge at the crossing so as to
avoid the expense and risk which are always attendant on the construction and use of
Swing bridges on Railways.

ScuGOG EiVER Dredging, &c.

An appropriation of $4,000 was granted for this service in 1874. The expenditure was
made in straightening, and widening short bends in the channel of the Scugog river at several
points in its course between the town of Lindsay and Sturgeon Lake. The channel of that
part of the river is now very much improved, and next year will not require any dredging be-
low the Railway wharves.

The expenditure to the 31st of October is as follows : —

Dredging 12,003 cubic yards of earth, &c, at 30c $3,600 90

do by day work and repairs 151 10

Cost of superintendence 145 68

$3,897 68

A charge for towing, not yet disposed of, will close the amount for this work in 1874.

The improvement of the river between the lock and Lake Scugog should be proceeded
■with in 1875.

The lock-master reports the following transits through the lock during the season of
navigation in 1874; 416 steamers, 604 scows loaded with lumber, logs, ties and other kinds
of timber, and 334 cribs of logs and boom timber, showing a considerable increase in transit
over last year.

Maintenance op Locks, Dams and Swing Bridges.

Appropriation $2,000.

Expenditure to 31st October in 1874.

Completion of slide at Young's dam, Otonabee river,. $1807 45

Lindsay swing bridge repairs 119 25

Rosedale swing bridge do. Balsam river works 31 50

Port Carling lock repairs 8 25

Iron works for dams , 10 75

Cost of inspection expenses 17 00

Total $1,994 20

This expenditure will be found in the statement of receipts and expenditures, submitted
to the House of Assembly, under the head of " Maintenance of locks, &c.," which also covers
the expenditure for salaries of lock-masters and bridge-tenders.

Drainage Works.

In my report for 1873, on page 23 of the "Report on Public Works" for that year, I
have given a statement of the expenditure on drainage works which were completed at that
date in the Townships of Russell, Mosa, Dunwich, Ekfrid and Caradoc, Grey and Brooke.

The length of drains opened in those Townships is 83| miles; the estimated area un-

16

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 15.) A. 1874

watered is 65,000 acres • the total expenditure on the construction of works is $90,304.59 ;
the cost of these drains will be repaid to the Province by a rent-charge on the lands unwatered,
at the rate of $7.61 per annum for 22 years, for each $100 expended, as provided by the
Act 36 Vic. Cap, 38, known as the " Ontario Drainage Act of 1873."

At the close of 1873 drainage works were in progress in the Townships of Raleigh and
East Tilbury in Kent, Moore and Sombra in Lambton, and West Nissouri in Middlesex, and
in 1874 additional works have been placed under contract in the Townships of Delaware and
Metcalfe, County of Middlesex, and Sarnia in the County of Lambton.

These last mentioned drainage works when completed will have a total length of 101
miles of drains.

They are estimated to unwater a total area of 100, .500 acres, and the estimated cost of
construction is $154,879.48. The drainage works thus far completed or now under contract
will, therefore, be as follows : *"

Total length of drains completed or under construction, 1 8 4|- miles ; total quantity of
excavation of earthwork, 1,168,000 cubic yards ; total estimated area to be unwatered, 165,500
acres. In some instances the lands have already been increased in value by from $10 to 830
an acre, as the results of the drainage works.

The total estimated cost of the whole works when finished is $245,184.07, repayable by
a rent-charge as mentioned.

Applications for additional drainage works have been made by the Councils of the Town-
ships of Sarnia, Moore, East Williams, Rochester, West Tilbury, Aldborough, Morrison,
Moulton and Sherbrooke, and Matilda.

Surveys have been made for projected works in most of these Townships by the engineer-
ing staff of the Department, but it will be about the close of the year before the plans are so
far complete as to enable me to give estimates of the extent and cost of the several works
required, and of the extent of the areas to be improved. The surveys in East Williams and
Matilda were completed last year, and the East Williams drain will soon be placed under
contract ; with regard to the Township of Matilda the work asked for is the lowering of the
upper waters of the Nation River, and as the works would be large, and affect lands in the
Townships of Winchester, Mountain, Matilda, and Williamsburg, applications should be made
by resolution of each of those Municipal Councils before the works are proceeded with. The
estimated cost of relieving the lands in these Townships by lowering the Nation River is
.$34,000.

The works would require the removal of 106,000 cubic yards of material from shoals in
the bed of the River between Chesterville and Brown's Bridge, and their completion would
unwater an area of 25,000 acres.

In addition to these the landholders of parts of the Townships of Portland and Camden
are very desirous of the Government undertaking works for the unwatering of lands affected
by the upper waters of the Napanee River ; and the residents of the Township of South Plan-
tagenet have similar wishes with regard to lands subject to flood on the Nation River between
Plantagenet Springs and Moose River.

With regard to the Acts of the Legislature authorizing the expenditure by the Govern-
ment on the construction of drainage works, the " Ontario Drainage Act," 33 Vic. Cap. 2,
was in effect until the 29th March, 1873, when it was repealed by the " Ontario Drainage
Act of 1873," 36 Vic. Cap. 38. At that time $163,362.34 had been expended under the
first-named Act, $137,573.18 on drainage works, repayable by a rent-charge on the lands un-
watered, and $25,789.10 on drainage surveys at the cost of the Province. The repeal of the
Act 33 Vic. Cap. 2 by the Act 36 Vic. Cap 38, caused the balance of the $200,000 unexpended
under the provisions of the first Act to lapse, and therefore the whole sum set aside by both
Acts for expenditure by the Government on drainage works amounts to $363,362.34.

The total expenditure to date on drainage works is $190,284 07

Do. do. drainage surveys 29,282 32

The estimated amount required to complete unfinished work 54,900 00

Leaving a balance to be available for new works of 88,895 95

Total expenditure authorized by 33 Vic. Cap 2 and 36 Vic. Cap. 38 $363,362 34

16

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 15.) A. 1874

It is expected that the works in the Townships of Raleigh, East Tilbury, Moore, West
Nissouri, Delaware, and Metcalfe, will be completed before the end of the present year.

The works in Sombra will be about two-thirds finished, and those now under contract in
Sarnia are to be completed in May, 1875.

Township of Raleigh, County of Kent.

On account of failure in time in pushing the works, they were taken out of the hands of
the original Contractor, Mr. John Elliott, and the unfinished portions have been re-let to a
number of local contractors, who, by the last returns, are all in a forward position with their
works, and I hope in another month to report the completion of the whole. The bridge
across No 1 drain at the river road close to its outlet into the Thames, became unsafe by
being undermined, this has been taken down and rebuilt with some additions and improve-
ments, and very permanent flood-gates added to prevent the river freshets from entering the
drain. The gates are so arranged as to close themselves when the freshets in the river rise
higher than those in the drains, and to open at all other times.

The benefits derivable from the drainage works are very marked in many parts of Raleigh,
and there are large tracts of the plains now fenced in and well cultivated, with neat houses on
the lots, which were covered with water and rank reeds and grass on my first inspection in
1868. These lands now raise splendid crops, and are probably worth from $30 to $50 per acre.

The drains will be completed about the close of the present month.

Township of Moore, County of Lambton.

The Contractor for these works, Mr. Wm. Barnum, kaving failed to carry out his con-
tract and abandoned the works, they have been taken in hand by the Department, the
Inspector having been instructed to keep the same foreman and labourers at work who were
in the employment of the contractor. The drains have now been completed as to length, but
some portions are not yet finished as to other details embraced in the contract ; in addition,
some clearing-out is required on the older portions of the work, but the whole will be finished
before the close of the present year.

East Tilbury, County op Kent.

These works were also let by contract to Mr. John Elliott, and last year were taken ofi"
his hands for the same cause as those in Raleigh. The unfinished portions have since been
re-measured and re-let to several local contractors, and it is expected to have the whole com-
pleted before the close of the current year.

The drains in this Township north of the middle road follow the lines of the old water
runs, and therefore are not straight like the greater part of the Raleigh drains. However,
they have an excellent inclination, and will therefore be efi'ective in discharging the surplus
rain-fall.

The benefits resulting from the construction of these drains will also be very marked,
and the expenditure will be handsomely repaid to the owners of the lands interested.

West Nissouri, County op Middlesex.

The contract for these works was let in July, 187.3, to Mr. John Woods, of London.
The length of the drain will be about 6f miles, and the excavations include the removal of
47,000 cubic yards of earth. The drain will unwater an area of about 6,000 acres.

The work is now reported to me as finished, and the contract will amount to $7,990. In
addition to which the cost of superintendence to date amounts to $85.50.

Delaware, County of Middlesex.

The works on the drains in this Township were let by contract early in the present year.
The system contains two main drains and two branches.

A part of the work is finished and I hope to hear of the completion of the remainder
by the end of November.

These works are well executed and cheaply constructed ?and will be of great service to
the lands they unwater.

SOMBRA, Co. OF LaMBTON.

The drainage works in this township as now under contract are all outlet, or discharging
drains into which others will (after their completion) be opened, in order to complete the
uawatering of the area of wet lands in the township.

The drains No. 1, 2, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 are all let to Mr. George Blain, and with the
extension of No. 1 drain, the whole will exceed 26 miles in length, and contain about 155,-
000 cubic yards of excavation ; No. 2 drain is along the allowance for road between lots 15
and 16 in the Gore of Chatham, and the 5th, Gth, 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, and 11th Concessions
of Sombra, and the contract embraces the clearing of the road allowance of timber, and the
formation of a roadway 15 feet in width, with the material taken out of the drain.

The other drains are along the courses of certain water runs and creeks, and the whole
will form a very efifective system when supplemented by the cross drains projected along the
road allowances between the 7th and 8th, 9th and 10th, and 11th and 12th Concessions.

The area of wet lands which will be improved by these drains is about 29,000 acres, and
the estimated CDst of the work is, .$42,532.

The progress of the work is shown as follows : —

No. 1 drain has 19,000 cubic yards excavated.

No. 2 do 21,994 do.

No. 6 do 19,552 do.

No. 7 do 2,550 do.

No, 8 do 1,800 do.

No. 9 do 18,843 do.

No. 10 do 1,900 do.

Total 85,639 cubic y^rds excavated.

The expenditure on the work done this year to the close of October is $11,404 57
Expenditure in 1873 4,128 21

Co-st to date $15,532 78

Drains, Nos. 9 and 10 are about completion, and the other works on the average are
nearly half done.

Metcalfe, County of Middlesex.

The drainage of a part of the Township of Ekfrid passes through No. 1 Government
drain of that township into the 13th Conces.sion of the Township of Metcalfe. The large
quantity of water discharged by the drain caused injury to some low lying land in the 12th
Conces.sion of Metcalfe, and to obviate tliis an extension of the Ekfrid drain through the 12th
Concession of Metcalfe hns been made.

The work is now finished, and will cost about

Sarnia, County of Lambton.

The work now under contract in this township compriseB the enlargement of the Wawa-

18

3S Victoria, Sessional Papers (No. 15.) A. I874

nosh drain which is the chief outlet for the surplus rain-fall of the township. Some years ago
the township authorities cut the Wawunosh drain (under a special Act), from what was then
called the Cull drain on front Lot No. 24, to the western boundary of Lake Wawanosh. This
comparatively drained the lake — so much so that the Township Council laid out its surface
into lots and sold them. They afterwards, on petition from the resident landholders, continued
the drain southwards, the landholders paying a large proportion of the cost of construction.
This work had the effect of again flooding the Wawanosh Lake bed, together with a consi-
derable extent of the surrounding cedar and tamarac lands, in the freshets prevailing during
the wet S'.^asons of the year, thereby giving the parties holding the lands^affected, grounds for
action against the Corporation.

The work now in progress of construction it is hoped will relieve the lands still subject
to fli)od by giving a sufficient area to the drain to enable it to carry off the flood water with
out overflow.

The drain, as it will be enlarged, will have a bott'mi width of 22 feet from the upper
end of Lake Wawanosh to its outlet, and through the lake an embankment will be formed
on each side of the ditch, having a berm of four feet between the base of the bank and edge
of the cut forming the ditch. The top of the bank will be four feet above the surface of the
lake bed, and average nine feet over the bottom of the drain. The width of the water area
between the tops of the banks, will be 52 feet, and its sectional area 319 square feet, the
average sectional area of the old drain crossing the lake bed being only 90 square feet. Out-
side the embankments there will be other berms and parallel drains connecting with the main
drain by box culverts with trap doors which will be so placed as to shut themselves when the
water in the main drain is higher than that in the side drains. This arrangement is intended
to drain the lake bed. while .st the same time it will relieve it from being flooded by the
freshets passing down the main drain.

The excavations required in the progress of the work will be about 60,000 cubic yards,
and the contract has been let for IS^ cents per cubic yard, which covers the removal of
everything from the site of the work, as well as all excavations of material, and formations
in embankments.

Eight culverts will be required in the embankments and they will form additional con-
tracts.

The work is making good progress, and is to be completed by May next.

The extension of the work on this drain up the beds of the Waddel and Perch Creeks
should follow the completion of the enlargement of the Wawanosh drain, and the Township
Council are also very anxious for the construction of a drain called the Pulse Creek drain,
the plans of which are now being prepared for receiving tenders from contractors.

Conservation of Drainage Works.

During the progress of my examinations of drains some of which have been constructed
DOW more than two years, I have observed a great many obstructions in the areas of the
ditches which will be the sources of injury of a permanent character to the waterways, unless
some care and trouble is to be taken by the township authorities for their prevention and
removal. Amongst these are falling trees and branches, fences placed across the bottoms of
ditches, dams built across them to secure water for cattle, and the tramping of the cattle in
the ditches in and around .such places. The cost of these works and their future maintenance
will have to be provided for by the various municipalities as a charge npon the lands affected
by their excavation, and it will be well for each Council of a township having such works to
consider and arrange for the best means for their present protection and future maintenance,
and to make such rules and by-laws as may be necessary for that end.

The large extent to which drainage works are now being carried on under the provisions of
the Municipal Act, the Drainage Aid Act, and the Ontario Drainage Act, makes it a matter
of great importance tliat such useful works shall be preserved from injury in every possible
way. With regard to the practice of putting dams across drains for the holding of water for
cattle, and other purposes, would it not be well instead of doing so, to consider the advis
ability of constructing reservoirs in townships where at certain seasons a scarcity of water
prevails. Taking Ealeigh and East Tilbury as instances, main drains fr<ra higher ground
cross the middle road at several points ; if reservoirs were constructed at these points connect-

19

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 15.) A. 1874

iag with the drains, they could be filled during freshets, and would be available for watering
cattle during the dry season. I think the subject is worth the attention of the Municipal
authorities whose townships are subject to the almost periodical want of water I have men-
tioned.

EXTENSION OF RAILWAYS IN 1874.

The extension of Railways throughout the Province during the present year, embraces
construction works on new lines having a total length of 662 miles. Of these, 92 miles have
been opened for traffic during the same period.

The whole of the mileage under construction this year, may be classed under the head
of •' local lines." Details of works on some of the lines are as follows : —

Canada Southern Railway. — St. Clair Branch.

63 miles in length. Commencing at St. Clair Junction, 4 miles from St. Thomas, and
extending through the Counties of Elgin, Middlesex and Lambton to Courtiight, its terminus,
on the River St. Clair. This line has been ballasted throughout, and had station houses
built this year. It is gradually opening up a hitherto very isolated district.

Midland Railway. — Extension to Midland City.

34 miles in length from Orillia to Midland City. Construction works have been in
operation over a length of 12 miles of this portion of the Railway, and it is piobable that the
whole will be completed in 1875.

Toronto, Grey and Bruce Railway.

Construction works have been in progress this year between Toronto and Weston, 9
miles in length, at Owen Sound on 1 mile of extension, and between Harriston and Teeswater,
25 miles, in all 35 miles; of which 26 miles have been opened for traffic during the year.
The extension to Teeswater, now open for traffic, will be of great tervice to a large section of
the County of Bruce.

Hamilton and Lake Erie Railway.

This Company have completed a connection of a little over 1 mile of Railway between
their City terminus in Hamilton and the Harbour at Land's Wharf, where they have con-
structed storehouses and wharfage, which will be of great value during navigation to their
Railway and its connecting lines.

Northern Extension Railways.

The Muskoka branch of these Railways has been completed and opened between Washago
and Severn Bridge, a distance of two miles, which, though a short step, is one in the right
direction, and of great benefit to the large freight business of the Muskoka and Parry Sound
districts. It is hoped that the completion of the road to Gravenhurst may be accomplished
next year.

Wellington, Grey and Bruce Railway. — Southern Branch.

66^ miles in length, from Palmerston on the main line and thence lia Listowel, Wing-
ham, and Lucknow to Kincardine, on Lake Huron, has been finished as to ballasting and
station accommodations, and has been ready for traffic for some time past. It is very desir-
aVjle in the interests of the public that some arrangement should be speedily arrived at for its
opening permanently for public traffic.

Kingston and Pembroke Railway.

The operations of this Company have extended over 40 miles of continuous line of Rail-
way from Kingston. 46 miles are graded, and 38 miles of rails laid, 20 miles of which are
now ballasted, and ready for inspection.

Grand Junction Railway.

The length of this Railway between Belleville and Lindsay is 86-| miles. Works have
been in operation over a length of 44 miles of continuous line, on 33 miles of which, the grad-
ing has been completed, and on 11 miles partially done, and about 10 miles in length of track
is laid with the iron rails.

Credit Valley Railway.

The entire length of this line and its branches aS projected, is 186 miles. Grading has
been done on the line over the following distances : —

Toronto to the Brock Road . 34 miles.

Gralt to Drumbo 11 do.

Streetsville tol Orangeville 20 do.

t

Cataract to Elora 5 do.

Total grading 70 miles.

Victoria Railway.

Length between Lindsay and Kinmount, 33 miles. Length graded, 14 miles ; length
cleared and grubbed, 31 miles. This Railway at present commencing at Lindsay, and con-
necting with the Midland Railway on the same gauge, that of 4 feet 8J inches, is located as
far as Kinmount. Its course so far is from Lindsay to Fenelon Falls, an important centre of
the lumber trade ; thence along the shore of Cameron Lake and the Valley of the Burnt
River to Kinmouat; so far works of construction are in progress. Between that point and
Haliburton, surveys for the extension of the road have been made ; but I am not in possession
of any information as to the details.

Port Dovep and Lake IxUron Railway.

Length as projected 60 miles, commencing at Port Dover on Lake Erie ; thence by
way of Simcoe, Otterville, Norwich, and Woodstock to Stratford.

A considerable portion of the grading between Port Dover and Woodstock has been done
for some years past, and the present position of the work is as follows:

Port Dover to Woodstock, 40 miles of grading nearly completed.
^Between Woodstock and Stratford, 6 miles do. do.

A large portion of the fencing is done south of Woodstock, and upwards of two thirds of
the ties delivered.

The bridges are now in course of construction, and it is honied that the track south ot
Woodstock will have the iron laid by the 1st of June, 1875.

Norfolk Railway.

The length of this road is given as 50 miles, running from the Town of Brautford, on
the east side of the Graad River, through parts of the Townships of Brantfbrd, North Nor-
wich, South Norwich, Dei-eham and Bayham, with stations to be provided — one in the Town
of Brantford, three in Burford, one in North Norwich, one in South Norwich, one in Dereham,
at Tilsonburg, near where the Canada Air line and Canada Southern Railway cross, three in
Bayham, and one at Port Burwell on Lake Erie. At this terminus there is an excellent
harbour, owned by a private company.

Opfioe of the Inspector op Asylums, Prisons, &c., Ontario,

Toronto, December 4th, 1874*

Sir, — It affords me great pleasure to be able to report to you, for the information of the
Legislature, the very satisfactory and economical management of the Farm attached to the
Asylum for Insane at London, Under the able Superintendence of Dr. Lauder, the farm for
the past two years has been a model in cultivation and management, and has shewn the most
satisfactory results financially. From the consideration of the subjoined accounts, it will be
seen that in the year 1872-3, the farm shewed a net profit, after deducting all expenses in-
cluding wages and board of Employees, amounting to .^^5, 028. 11 ; and that the net profits for
the year 1873-4, deducting all expenses, interest on capital investment, and rental of land,
has been $6,081.79, These figures are in themselves sufficient to prove that the returns for
the expenditure have been most satisfactory, and as a proof of the efficient cultivation, I may
state that, from the gardens and the farm, we obtained at the Provincial Exhibition no less
than twenty-three prizes in 1873.

So creditable in fact has been the cultivation of the land that at the Webtem Fair held
in London this Autumn, the Medical Superintendent was informed that the produce of the
Asylum was not allowed to compete in consequence of its being a Government Institution,
and of its being in a higher state of cultivation than farms in the District could possibly be,
owing to the amount of labour that was available from the patients of the Institution. That
it would again have obtained prizes, the subjoined Report of the Medical Superintendent will
testify.

The Farm and Garden.

Notwithstanding the driest year I have known in Canada, the result of our work is
not very bad. Our potatoes are an utter failure, for we have not got twice the amount of
seed we put into the ground. Drought and Colorado beetle, but chiefly the first, have been
too much for us.

Boots are not more than enough to feed our stock until the end of the year. Peas and
Corn are alike short ; Oats a fair crop, and Barley good in quality but small in grain.

Clover hay is the only great crop we have had. The land for that was in good condition,
well manured, and subsoiled two years since. No such 25 acres of clover were to be seep in
the country. The yield of butter, milk, &c., will be seen in the tables. Every year adds to
the productiveness of the land in seasons of equal fertility, but this season has been one of
signal disadvantage, and though the farm shews & good balance-sheet in spite of that, it is
o\ving to the labour expended on it, and, not a little, to the constant attention and applica-
tion of Mr. Cook, who ha§ shewn much skill in taking advantage of every chance the season
i^as given to him. Crops likely to yield food for the cattle have been put in at the right time,
i^jvery blade of grass has been cut for them wherever it could be found, and the result is that
our cows have not shewn any deficiency of milk.

The pests of this farm when we came to it — Canada thistles and wild mustard — are dis-
appearing in the cultivated portion of the land, though the former are still abundant in the
clearings. The best mode of killing the thistle is to mow them short after the first frost
softens their stems, and then to put about an egg-cupfuU of salt on the softened surface ou
the level of the ground. The thistles so treated never appear again, although young ones, the
relicts I suppose, of the killed, come up the next year.

The garden has not been so productive as usual. Cabbages have been a failure ; cauli-
tlower the same, beet, carrots, salsify and such like have done well. The small fruits, cur-
rants, raspberries, &c., were not abundant. Apple trees and vines are beginning to bear. But
the garden has paid its expenses and more, and the vegetable gardener, with his staff of assist-
ant patients, has, as always in past years, devoted himself to his work. His onions are always
the show of the country, and if the illiberality of the Western Fair Society had not shut out
the Asylum from prizes, he would have won many. The flower garden exhibits the head gar-
dener's great industry, and as he has only patients and an attendant to help him, the 14,000

2

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 18.) A. 1874

flowers raised by him are a most creditable amount of work. The outer garden around the
buildings has the attention of the attendant, Mr. J. Flynn, alluded to, and the general admi-
ration our garden extorts from visitors testifies to his competence and industry. Want of
water this year diminished the attraction of the flowers.

There is one item in the charges against the farm which I do not think justifiable, but
I have assented to its entry by the Bursar, because the farm can bear the charge, and it shall
not be said that any legitimate charge, if others think it legitimate, is withheld. I do not
think it is legitimate to charge rent against the farm, and more especially at the rate we have
paid for accommodation land, like Mr. Carling's fai'm. $4.00 an acre for this farm, on which
the late owner could not maintain his family is either an overcharge or it testifies more
strongly than any other fact could, to the management of the land since we have had it. But
if it is fair to charge rent for the land, it would be equally fair to add interest on the capital
expended on the buildings to the maintenance accounts ; and how would the Bursar or In-
spector like that. Their accounts would not show a balance sheet like my farm account. I
therefore object to this item unless the same principle is carried out in other things. Every-
thing is charged for and against, except labour of patients, which, of course, is abundant every
year, and tells strongly in favour of our balance sheet.

A detailed statement of every plant raised can be made out, as all are entered by the
gardener. In a report like this it is necessary to give results only, and the result is a profit
of about $6,000.

The total expenditure for farm, feed and fodder, including purchase of stock and repairs,
seeds and vegetables, for the year 1872-3 was .$2,789.39 ; the expenditure for the year 1873-4
for similar items was, $2,481.54. In both cases these amounts are deducted from the
gross revenue of the farm. The stock on the farm on the 30th September, 1874, was : —

10 horses (6 for farm, 4 for Asylum).

45 cows and heifers.
1 bull.
106 sheep.
120 pigs.
There has been raised this year in the shape of fodder : —

149f tons hay.

45 " straw.
135 cart loads corn fodder (green).

80 " " grass,

32 " « rye.

10 loads tares. '

And the following quantities of roots : —

2,220 bushels mangold Wurtzels.
1,5 54 J " turnips.

Beside large quantities of grains for feeding purposes, and vegetables of all kinds for
domestic uses.

The sum of $1,500.00 was placed in the estimates for 1875, under the heading of fruits
and vegetables, in consequence of the failure of the potato crop. When it is considered that
there are consumed in the Asylum daily about 15 bushels of potatoes, and of other vegetables
'in proportion, it will be seen that the farm is not only useful as a sanitary agent in the em-
ployment of patieiUs, but is a most profitable adjunct to the Institution. The vegetable gar-
den, I can say, without fear of contradiction, is one of the best stocked and kept in the Pro-
vince and the flower garden the most attractive and inexpensive of any that I have seen in
the United States or Canada.

In reviewing the operations of the farm, it must be borne in mind that four years ago it
was an uncultivated swamp, upon which the owner was never able to make a living ; that now
nearly 100 acres are tastefully laid out in lawn and garden, and the remaining 200 acres are in
a high state of cultivation, yielding considerable profit to the Institution, and decreasing by
some $10,000.00, the amount that would be required annually for its maintenance, in its
supply of fruit, vegetables, meat and milk. No higher testimony can be borne to the efficient

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 18.) A. 1874

management of the farm than the above facts, and I am happy to be afforded the opportunity
to bring before the notice of the Legislature the proofs of what good management has done
for one of the Institutions of Ontario.

I have the honour to be, sir.

Your obedient servant,

J. W. Langmuir,

OP THE

COMMISSIONER OF CROWN LANDS

OP THE

PROVIJ^CE OF ONTARIO,

FOR THE TEN MONTHS ENDING 31st OCTOBER, 1874.

To His Excellency the Honourable John Crawford, Lieutenant-Governor oj the
Province of Ontario.

May it Please Your Excellency:

I have the honour to submit to Tour Excellency the following Report of the proceedings,

transactions and affairs of the Department of Crown Lands for the ten months ending the 31st
October, 1874.

CROWN LANDS.

There were sold during the ten months, 83,499 acres. The sales amount to $97,619,
and the collections to $138,040.

CLERGY LANDS.

There were sold of the Clergy Lands, during the ten months, 17,689 acres. The sales
amount to $25,652, and the collections to $76,736.

COMMON SCHOOL LANDS.

There were sold of the Common School Lands, during the ten months, 3,323 acres. The
"ales amount to $9,784, and the collections to $89,933.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL LANDS.

There were sold of the Grammar School Lands, during the ten months, 10,23
The sales amount to $14, 9905^ and the collections to $15,406.

•38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 20.) A. 1874

WOODS AND FORESTS.

The accrual from timber dues, ground reuts, &c., during the ten months, to Slst
October, 1874, is $417,408.14.

The collection of timber dues, ground rents, &c., during the ten months, is $403,962.62,
to which is to be added the sum of .$14,120.55 collected on account of the Lake Huron
sale of October, 1872, and SI, 8.J,2.62 collected on tim'er cut under settler's license ; total,
|419,91."i.79.

During the week ending 7th November, there was collected the sum of $.32,371.30,
which, added to the above 8419,915.79, mikes a total collection (at the last-mentioned date)
on account of Woods and Forests, of $452,287.09, or .$7,999.09 in excess of the e.stimate of
collections for the year 1874.

With the exception of a slight reaction in October, in the Ottawa section, and at Que-
bec, the depression in the lumber and timber trade, referred to in my last report as having
prevailed throughout the year 1873, continued during the season of 1874 ; shipments of
himber, for cash, bein^ comparatively few, and those for sale, on commission, have either been
held over by consignees on account of shippers or sold without profit ; timber, at Quebec,
changed hands to a very limited extent during the season, and at unprofitable prices, and
where sales were made in October, at an approach to paying rates, the transactions were at
long dates.

The stagnation in the square timber and lumber trade for some time past, is partly ow-
ing to a falling off in building and other industries in Britain and the United States, caused,
in the former, by that disturbing element, " trade strike>," and in the latter by a depression
in business generally ; but it may be safely allesred that the unsatisfactory state of trade is
mainly attributable to over-production both in timber and sawn lumber, especially the latter ;
the stocks of lumber on hand in the American market, and held over in Canada, in logs and
lumber, being, in consequence, far in excess of any prospective requirement for some time to
eome In view of this state of things, saw-mill owners and lumberers generally would do well
to limit their operations during season 1874-75 to the lowest point possible.

I may here state, as mentioned in my last report, that no timber has so far been cut on
the berths on the north shore of Lake Huron, sold in October, 1872.

FREE GRANTS.

On the 1st January. 1874, there were 69 townships open for location under the "Free
Grants and Homestead Act of 186^," and the following have been opened since that time,
viz : Bangor, Faraday, McClure, Carling, Ryde, Oakley, Ridout, Mattawan and Plummer.
making a total of 78 townships now open. There are also appropriated, but not yet open for
location, 12 townships, including the Townships of Franklin and Lutterworth, which were
appropriated during this year.

The total number of townships now open for location is therefore 78, and of those appro-
priated but not yet opened, 12, making in all 90.

During the ten months ending on the 31st October. 78."> locations were made on 101,718
acres of land, and 1772 acres were old to 4") locatees. During the same period 350 loca-
tions made in former years, were cancelled for non-perfonnanGe of the settlement duties, and

vi

3S Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 20.) A. 1874

the lands have been re-located to other parties, and 042 Patents have been issued to Free
Grant settlers, and to purchasers in Free Grant townships who have obtained a remission of
the sums due on their lands under the Act 35 Vic. cap. 21. (See Appendix No. 11.)

COLLECTIOiNS AND REVENUE.

The total collections in the Department, during the ten months, amount to $754,648, of
which $572,512 may be considered as revenue, and $182; 135 as special funds. (See Appen-
dices, Nos.7, 8, and 9.)

Disbursements.

The total amount disbursed during tiie ten months is $200,600. (See Appendix No.
10.)

COLONIZATION ROADS.

The totiil expenditure on account of Colonization lloads, during the ten months is $95,-
164, the particulars of which will be found in Appendix No. 14.

CROWN PATENTS.

The number of Patents issued during the ten months is 3,097, being 176 more than were
issued during the same period last year.

It will be seen on reference to my Report f r 1873, that there had been 729 more
Patents issued that year, than had been issued during the year preceding.

CROWN SURVEYS.

The surveys for which instructions have issued during the past year are, part of the town
plot of Gosport in the Township of Murray ; the Township of Lount ; survey of a tier of lots
on each side of the Dawson Road, north-west of Lake Superior, and the Towu.ship of Perry.

Instructions were also issued for a survey of the line between the timber berths of
Messrs. Caldwell and Skead, and of timber berths under license to Messrs. A, & P. White,
on the south side of the River Ottawa.

The surveys completed and closed during tlie year are those of pnrt of the Township of
McGregor ; the exploring line from the Township ot Chaffey to the mouth of the Mattawan
the Townships of Pic, Sibley, Oliver, Plummer aud Burns; examination survey of lots 16 and
17 on the Thames, in Dover East; of the town plot . f Clarkville ; of the line between the
timber limits of Messrs. Caldwell and Skead, aud of the outlines of timber berths 60, 61, and
44, north of Lake Huron.

Municipal Survi;ys.

The municipal surveys for which instructions have issued during ten months of the past
year under the authority of Act 22ud Vic, cap. 93, of the Cou.-olidated Statutes of Canada,
are enumerated in Appendix No. . 18. These surveys are m;ide on the application of the
Council of the Corporation of the townships, and < n the application of the (. ounty Councils

Mineral Lands.

The demand for mineral lands on the north shore of Lakes Superior and Huron, and in
the vicinity of Lakes Shebandowan and Kashabowre, has resulted in the sale of 14294.23
acres in that unsurveyed portion of the Province ; the applicants furnishing plans, field notes
and descriptions of each location by a Provincial Land Surveyor, in accordance with the pro-
visions of the Act relative to mining, 32 Yic, cap. 34, sec. 9, and sub sections 1 and 2, and

sections 10 and 11.

ON

COLOMZATION ROADWORKS

IN OiXTAKIO,

FOR THE TEAR 1874.

Hon. T. B. Pardee,

Coinmissioner of Crown Lands.

Sir, — I have the honour to report to )-ou the various works on Roads and Bridges per-
formed under the dir c'ion of your Department during the present year.

The total amount voted by the Legislature for Colonization Roads at its last Session
was .$100,000, which sum has been di.stributed over an extent of territory embracing nearly
the extreme limits of the Province.

NORTH DIVISION.

Extending from French River to Thunder Bay.

Pigeon River Road.

The work has b:!en continued upon this line to the extent of partially completing a large
portion according to contract, and of chopping and clearing the whole distance throughout,
from Fort William Town Plot to Pigeon River (National Boundary,) a distance cf nearly
thirty-eight miles.

Tiie road is not yet completed according to contract. There has been paid on account
of the works this year §1,800.

Black Ray Road.

The contractors for the construction of this road last year, have also continued their
operations this year, completing the deficiencies of last season's work, and adding three and
one-eighth miles to the length of road opened in 1873.

The total distance to which the road is now completed is reported to be nineteen and
five eighths miles. The expenditure of this year is $3,620.00

Besides the above work done upon the line of road, an excellent Queen Post Truss
Bridge — known as the Current River Bridge, has been constructed over Current River,
which intersects the Black Bay Road near the end of the third mile. This bridge was built

20

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 20.) A. 1874

under contract by Messrs. Sutherland & Co., the contractors also for the construction of Black
Bay Road

The contract price for the same is $1,900.00, on which there has been paid 'on account
$1,8G8.12.

Fort William Road.

This road was left in a very unfinished condition last season. There existed in the
easterly portion of the line— as stated in last year's report — a boggy swamp, through which
ditches had been cut, but the material excavated therefrom was not adapted to form a road-
way, being composed of moss and a kind of mucky peat.

Over this section a good road has been made this year, constructed by planking the sur-
face with 3 inch plauk laid on longitudinal tamarac stringers.

Both the streams — Prince Arthur's and Mclntyre's Creeks — have been substantially
bridged, and the road throughout has been completed, with all necessary culverts and
grading.

The nature of the work has been such as to necessitate a large expenditure, but the im-
portance of the road is a justificatii^n of the outlay.

The total expenditure this season has been $8,319.46.

Kaministiquia Bridge.

This bridge was contracted for by John Carroll, Esq., in the fall of 1873, and was to have
been completed during the winter.

Nothing was paii upon the work in the year named, except a sum of 3365, advanced for
iron, and which amount appears in the report of said year.

The work of construction, however, proceeded but slowly during the winter, f.nd the
spring thaw and freshet broke up the ice in the river before the piers were completed and
bound by the chords and superstructure.

The enormous pressure and shocks from large masses of ice, overset some and displaced
others of the piers in such a manner as to destroy the whole work as far as it had then pro-
ceeded.

The work has been abandoned for the present.

There has been paid upon the work, under the final estimate, $2,598.87.

Base Line Road.

This road has been opened a further distance of about three miles. The overseer re-
ports the ground to have been exceedingly rough and difficult, on account of frequent streams,
abrupt hills, and stony ravines.

The total expenditure for this year has been $954.80

WEST DIVISION.

Northern Road.

This is one of the lines on which substantial, permanent improvements have been this
year commenced.

The last Report received states that five miles of road have been completed, including
solid and commodious bridges and culverts.

The overseer is now employed in constructing a bridge across Portage River.

The total expenditure to date on account is $4,900.

Parry Sound Road.

The permanent works on this road are closed so far as the grading or earthwork is
concerned, but an important bridge some miles to the eastward of the terminus of the above
works, is still under construction.

21

38 Victoria. Sestioiial Papers (No. 20.) A. 1874

This bridge was built some seven or eight years ago, and had become rotten and highly-
dangerous for travel. It was, therefore, deemed expedient to renew it without delay.

Al out five miles of road have been thoroughly made. A good deal of bridging over
ravines and streams, embracing a total length of 776 feet, has also been effected.

Outside of the above distance a truss bridge of 180 feet in length was also constructed.

Total expenditure to date, f^7,378.88.

EtUSSEAU AND NiPISSING EOAP^

This is another of those roads on which superior and permanent improvements have been
made this season. An excellent road has been formed for a distance of about 6 miles. Sub-
stantial framed bridges over ravines and streams, and large culverts, and off-take drains have
been made. Heavy fillings of stone work and a wide and well-fom ed turn-pike throughout
the whole length above named, give stability and permanency to the work.

The total amount paid on. account to date is $7,800.

Christie Eoap.

This roads leads from lot 42 on the Parry Sound Eoad, through parts of Macdougall and
Christie to its intersection with the Junction Eoad No. 2, in the lat!er township, 10 miles and
30 chains.

The road has been formed as a better class winter road, the addition to No. 2 Specifi-
cation being an increase of 10 feet in the width of road, more substantial and longer cross-
ways, and a superior style of grading.

The work was let by contract to the lowest tender at $274 00 per mile, and has been
satisfactorily completed with the exception of a short distance upon the easterly end, on ac-
count of which the nmount uf $100 00 has been retained from the contract price.

Total expenditure, $2,742.75.

EOUSSEAU AND NiPISSING EeIAIRS, No. 1.

A bad portion of this road lying above the 10th Conces.-ion of Monteith and northward
through Spence for a distance of 13 miles, has been repaired. A number of very bad mud,
holes and imperfectly drained portions of the road have been improved, and many additional
culverts added to the road throughout the above distance.

Paid on account^ $150.

EoUSSEAU AND NiPISSING EePAIRS, No. 2.

Some impassable mud holes lying between the Maganetawan Eiver and Lake Nipissing
have been filled, and a good deal of f Hen timber which obstructed the p;ssage of waggons, has
been cut and removed.

Expenditure, $53.75.

EoUSSEAU AND NiPISSING EePAIRS, No. 3.

The portion of road lying between the Village of Eousseau and the Junction has also
been repaired.

The repairs consist of renewed bridges, mud holes filled, stumps removed, and additional
grading over a distance of two miles.

Paid on account, $200.

Eterson Junction Eoad.

This ia a new road opened to afford facility of access for the settlers in Eyerson to the
Eousseau and Nipissing Eoad.

It joins an angle of one of the roads in the above township, constructed by the Board of

22

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 20.) A. 1874

Works Department, with tlie Rousseau Road, following generally the line between the 4th
and 5th Concessions of parts of Ryerson and Spence.

The road has been formed as a good winter road. Its length is about 8 mile?, and the
total expenditure thereon is $2,015.52

MONTEITH AND PekRY RoAD.

This road has been extended an additional distance of 10 miles, and now reaches (o
within about 2 miles of an intersection with the Muskoka Road.

The work was let by contract, and the road has been built on Departmental Specific"-
tion No. 2. Total expenditure, .$2,224.37.

MONTEITH AND PeRRY RoAD.

Clearance of 6 -J mile!'.

Last winicr a number of the Iceland and Norwegian emigrants, settled in the Townships
of Cardwell and Monteith, being in a very destitute condition, were employed in chopping and
clearing portions of this and the Cardwell Roads. The above named distance on this road
was wrought over in the manner described ,|the expenditure thereon being $547.77.

Cardwell Road.

Simultaneously with the above work tm the Monteith Road, similar improvements for
the same object were carried on upon the Cardwell Road. Eight miles of this road were
chopped and cleared of timber, the expenditure being $527.10.

After the spring season opened further work on this roud was resumed for the purpose
of completing a portion of the same as a winter road. A final report of the work has not yet
been received.

The expenditure on account to date being $610.

Lake Joseph Road;

The Lake Joseph Road has been improved in two divisions :

1. From Port Carling westward 4| miles were wrought over, about 2| miles of which
were new road consisting of deviations to avoid some almost impassable hills.

The remainder of the distance was old road repaired.

2. On the eastward of Port Carling seven and a half (7J) miles of line were wrought
over, consisting of ly^ miles of new road, and the remainder of old road repaired.

This road having been badly located in the beginning, changes in the lino were absolutely
necessary in many places.

1 he changes in this road thus effected are palpable improvements, not only with regard
to the benefits of travel, but also with reference to economy ; as a much larger amount of
money would have been required to render the road passable upon the old line.

Another deviation, still further to the eastward upon this road, was made under a by-
law of the Municipality of Watt, to complete which, the Commissioner — upon application of
the said Council — through their reeve — granted in aid thereof the sum of .$200.00 which
sum has been duly expended and vouched for.

Total expenditure $2,187.61.

Sequin Bridge.

This is a cheap and substantinl structure formed across the Seguin River on the Junc-
tion Road, No. 2 — A work left over from the last operations performed on this line under
contract. Cost, $250.

Muskoka Road.

Improvements commenced on this road at Bracebridge, and were continued northward
from thence over a distance of 14 milc,=.

These repairs have been very well made.

23

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 20.) A. 1874

Many hills on the line are much reduced, large quantities of stones have been removed,
culverts ?nd bridges added where needed, and considerable drainage effected.
Total expenditure $1,912.13.

Macaulay Road (South.)

This road has been opened and made passable a further distance of some 4 miles. It is
not thoroughly completed to the Draper Bridge at the end of the above distance. 1:|- miles
of the first part of this distance is well finished, the remaining portion — 2| miles — is chopped,
cleared and grubbed, and generally crosswayed. One bad swamp remains to be crosswayed,
and some low and wet places to be brushed and ditched.

The road also over the latter distance requires generally some further improvement.

Total expenditure, §799.65.

MUSKOKA AND FOBCAYGEON RoAD.

This road has been extended four miles further, and now reaches to within 3 miles of
the Bobcaygeon Road, where it is proposed to terminate it.

The road is a winter road formed under Specification No. 2.
The total expenditure this year is $867.99.

Draper Bridge.

This bridge, built in the year 1871 at a cost of $G00, was destroyed by the freshet of
this year.

The Department being apprised of the impending destruction of the bridge, sent a gang
of some four ttr five men to save as much of the upper timbers as possible.

All the stringers and truss timbers with the planking were preserved.

Expenditure, $70.40.

EAST DIVISION.

Victoria Road.

An appropriation of 81,000 having been made for the purpose of extending repairs on
this road, the work was cimmenced — according to instructions — at Head Eiver and carrried
northward over a distance of about 11 miles. The ordinary method of repairs has been
followed, removing stones, covering crossways, opening ditches, &c., &c.

Paid on account to date, $825.71.

MoNCK Road.

The work on this road last year ended where the line intersected the Kinmount and
Fenelon Road. As the wishes of the settlers strongly urged that this section of the Monck
Road should terminate at Kinmount where the East Section commences, the two roads form a
common one from the said point of intersection to Kinmount Village.

Some additional work has been done this season on this portion of the road, consist-
ing of some deviations from the old track to avoid hills and the repairs of the old road.

About 3 miles of line have been wrought over, 1| miles of which is new road.

This improvement has cost .$914.53, $400 of which has been contributed by the Muni-
cipality of Somerville.

Departmental, expenditure $514.53.

Cameron Road.

Two classes of work were carried forward on this road, this season, in order to complete
the same as far as ihe Village of Minden.

A contract was let for the construction of two miles of new road between that portion of

24

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 20.) A. 1874

the line wrought over last year, and the Bobcaygeon Eoad, a point distant from the Village of
Minden seventy chains, being where the road in question intersects the Bobcaygeon Road.

This work was let at the rate of $500 per mile, to be completed under Specification
No. ].

The road is reported finished by the contractor, and is at present under examination.

There has been paid on account, $700.

Further improvements— to complete a section of the work of last season only partially
performed — extending over a distance of three and a quarter miles, has been carried on un-
der an overseer, and has been satisfactorily finished. Total cost, $938.28.

BuBLEiGH Extension.

This is a new road through the Township of Monmouth, commencing on the Monck
Road at a point about a mile west of where the old i'urleigh Road location intersected the
Monck Road.

The object of the road mainly is to form a connection with the Canada Land and
Emigration Company's Road, called the Kennaway Road. $1,500 were appropriated for
the above object, and an arrangement was made with the petitioners for the expenditure
thereof.

The arrangement referred to was that the said Company should ccnnect, at its own ex-
pense, the teiminus of this road, at the boundary of Dudley, with the Kennaway Road in the
said township.

There has been paid on account, $1,000.

Glamorgan Bridge.

This bridge is built over the Burnt River, where the Buckhorn Road intersects the
same in the Township of Glamorgan.

The work was done during the winter season of this year under an overseer.

It is a good substantial structure of fifty feet span, with double-built stringers, well
keyed and bolted.. The total length of bridge is one hundred and eighty feet, and cost
$1,360.25.

Carlow Bridge.

This bridge spans the York Branch of the Madawaska River, where the Carlow Road
intersects the same.

The river here has a water width, at the medium level, of one hundred and thirty-three
feet.

The entire length of the bridge is two hundred and thirty-four feet. The central bay is
sixty-six feet span. This is supported by Queen Post Truss, with iron tie rods through-
out. The whole structure to be finished, according to specification, in the most approved
manner.

The work has been let by contract for the sum of $2,000.

Nothing has yet been paid on account thereof, but the work is reported as approaching
fast towards completion,

Buckhorn Road.

The completion of the Buckhorn Road, from the northern terminus of the contract work
performed by Mr. Grah.-im last year, to the south boundary of Dysart has been let this year
under contract for the sum of $500 per mile, to be completed according to Specification
No. 1.

The work has been reported as completed, and is now under examination by the In-
spector and will be shortly reported upon by him. Paid on account $900.

Burleigh Bridges.

These are two structures spanning respectively two arms of the Burleigh River, locally
known as the " Big" and "Little Chutes," are situated at the points where the Burleigh

25

08 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 20.) A. 1874

Road intersects the above branches of the said river. The first bridge, over the " Big
Chute," is four hundred and fifty feet in entire length, and is formed with three water
bays, one of ninety feet, and two of fifty feet each.

The approaches on either side over the River Valley are supported upon log piers and
hewn stringers substantially built.

The roadway is covered with three inch plank.

The water piers are built of hewn cedar, filleil with stone having cutwater fronts, and
acute angles faced with boiler-plate iron.

The trusses are all Queen post. The centre one, of ninety-feet span, is formed with
four courses of double-built stringers, well scarfed, keyed with white oak, and thoroughly
bolted.

Iron ties, vertically and laterally, secure the whole in every position of strains, while
the central truss is secured from vibration by double belts at mid height of the truss clasp-
ing, and securely bolted to the posts and braces.

The second bridge is composed of one entire span of eighty feet, reaching over a chasm
from rock to r ck, and is built after the same manner and upon the same principles as the
middle span of the long bridge first desci ibed.

These two bridges have been built, under contract, for the total sum of $4,000.

The municipalities interested particularly in these improvements, have contributed —
according to previous arrangement — one-half of this amount, and the Government have ap-
portioned the remaining amount required, viz., S_',('00.

Hastings PkOAD.

The repairs done on this road this season were taken up where they closed last year,
about two miles southward of L'Amable Lake, and were carried forward as far as Maynooth
Post Ofiice.

The repairs beyood York River consisted of filling some of the worst mud-holes and re-
pairing the broken crossways, and making the road as passable over the said distance as the
limited appropriatiun would permit.

The distance from the point of commencement to York River, five and a half miles, was
m' re thoroughly repaired. The total distance wrought over on this road was about twenty
miles, of which one and two-thirds miles was new road on a deviation to avoid several bad
hills.

Reside the above work on the direct Hastings Road, a short branch, two miles in length,
has been opened from L'Amable Lake as far as York River in a more northerly direction, and
formed as a winter road for the convenience of a small settlement in that direction ; thus af-
fording them access to the mills and stores at the above lake, without traversing a long and
circuitous route by the Mississippi and Hastings Roads.

The total expenditure in both improvements is .$1,192.94.

Mississippi Road.

Four miles more of this road has been opened this year through the Township of Ashby
The line passed over is of an exceedingly rough and stony character.
The getting in of supplies has also been laborious and expensive.
The expenditure on account is $1,895.
Returns not yet completed.

Mississippi Road Repairs.

This road has been repaired from the sixth to the twenty-second mile post.

A large amount of work has been done for the expenditure, consisting of grading, ston-
ing, brushing, and ditching.

The road throughout the above distance has been rendered tolerably passable, at an ex-
penditure of ^753.36

26

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 20.) A. 1874

Frontenac Road Repairs.

Repairs were commenced on this road at the south end thereof, and continued northward
a distimce of four and three-quarters miles.

The overseer then removed to the north part of the Township of Clarendon, and made a
deviation from the old road of one mile in length, cutting off an elbow and avoiding some hills,
where his work ended.

The total amount of work, therefore, as reported, is one mile new road, and four and
three-quarters miles repaired.

The expenditure is $1,248.52,

Addington Road Repairs.

About ten miles of this road have been repaired, commencing at the head of Massanoga
Lake and ending at Eagle Bill, near the ]\!ississippi Road. The work has consisted of the ordi-
nary improvements, such as removing stone.s, repairing crossways, raising the road bed, drain-
age, &c.

Total expenditure, $1,002.71.

Clare River Bridge.

This was an absolutely necessary work. Ihe old bridge, built some fifteen years ago,
had become so dilapidated that the passage across it was highly dangerous.

A substantial structure was erected and completed last winter, on the same site as that
occupied by the old one,

The entire length of the bridge is six hundred and eighteen feet. The piers are twenty-
four in number, and are built entirely of cedar, with cross ties, corbel beams, and stone
loading.

There is a central truss bay of sixty-six feet span. The roadway is covered with three-
inch plank spiked to the stringers.

The whole well guarded with hand-railing.

The total cost of work has been $2,356.28, <i which amount there has been paid this
year, $1,346.48.

Hyde Chute and Sanson's Road.

The portions of this road left unfinished last year have been completed this season.
Besides the above, a number of crossways have I een renewed, which were burnt in the dry-
season of last year. Eight miles of road have been repaired, and two new bridges made at a
total expenditure of $1,036.20.

Opeongo Road.

Repairs were commenced upon this road, in Horton, a short distance from the Village
of Renfrew, and contir ued as far as Clontarf Post Office, a distance of twenty-seven miles.

These repairs have been of a general character, such as raising the road bed, opening
side and off-tuke ditches, the removal from the road-bed of protruding rocks, widening the
road, brushing luw places, and covering with earth, renewing crossways and covering same,
and reducing (where practicable,) hills of steep ascent.

Total expenditure, $2,823.53.

Pembroke and Mattawan Road (East Section).

The work on this section, in the first place, consisted of the completion of some three
miles southward of Deux Rivii'res.

After the completion of this portion of the work the further extension of the line was
taken up to the westward of the abi ve-named point and pushed on in a westerly direction
towards the Mattawa until the close of the season, at which period the overseer had worked

27

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 20.) A. 1874

over and finished eight and three-fourths miles of road, four and one-quarter miles of which are
new road, and four and one-half miles are of unfinished road of last year, completed this
season.

The work is reported by the inspector to bo well done in general, and in a very satisfac-
tory condition fortrav^el.

Total expenditure, S3,783.25.

Pembroke and Mattawan Road (West Section).

On this section of the work we have not yet received the final report of the overseer.
The inspector's report, however, states that the overseer has completed six miles of new
road in a satisfactory manner, the road-bed being well raised and supplied with a
number of substantial abutment bridges and good wide culverts, as well as being well
drained.

Paid on account to date, $3,54:5.15.

Kingston and Perth Road.

$500 were granted in aid of this road this season. No report of the improvements
has yet been received.

There has been paid as an advance on account, ^200.

Flinton and Bridgewater Road.

$250 were granted to aid the Municipality of Elzevir in making some improvements on
this road on condition that an equal amount should be furnished by the said municipal-
ity, the whole to be expended upon the road in question. This has been done, and vouchers
have been duly received by the Department certifying the said expenditure.

The principal improvement wrought has been the reducing a bad and stony hill in
said road, with some other substantial repairs.

Departmental expenditure, $250.

Summary op all Works Effected in 1874, up to November 16th.

87J miles new roads made.
169 " of roads repaired.

16 " " permaaently repaired.

12 new bridges made.
6 bridges repaired.

The above comprise all the works performed under the direction of the Colonization
Roads Branch of your Department down to the 16th day of the present month of Novem-
ber, 1874.

There are some few cases — it will be observed — where the accou.its connected with the
works are not finally closed, but they are not of such a char;icter as to involve any consider-
able expenditure, save in the case of the Buckhorn Road and Carlow Bridge.

I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your obedient servant,

APPENDIX NO. 22.
Mining Inspector's Eeport — Madoc Division.

Crown Lands Office,
Belleville, Nov. 3rd, 1874.

Sir, — I have the honour to submit for your consideration the following Eeport :

Mining, or perhaps I ought rather to call them " prospecting " operations are being
carried on with considerable activity in the Madoc District, although the subject of
research at the present time seems to be Iron rather than Gold.

Work on the latter metal has, however, been by no means relinquished, although it
has progressed slowly, on account of the want of sufficient capital on the part of the per-
sons who own the mines, and the difficulty of inducing capitalists, either at home or
abroad, to take sufficient interest in our Gold mining enterprises to aid in the develop-
ment of our mines.

Mr. W. J. Gatling, who owns some very promising veins on lots numl^er ten in the
eighth and ninth Concessions of the Township of Marmora, recently paid a visit to Eng-
land, and had some samples of his ores reduced at the Swansea works, the proceeds of
which were so satisfactory that negotiations were set on foot by some English capitalists
for the purchase of a portion of his property ; but as the price offered was much below
what Mr. Gatling considered to be the value of the part he proposed to sell, no definite
result was arrived at, though it is not improbable that future attempts may be more suc-
cessful.

The experimental operations at the old Dean and Williams mines, on lot number
seven in the ninth concession of Marmora, have been completed by the Toronto Gold
Mining Company, who are now engaged in developing some very extensive lodes on lot
number six in the same concession.

A Mr. Walker, who has acquired the mining rights on the road-alloM'ance between
lots eight in the eighth and eight in the ninth concessions of Marmora, is making arrange-
ments to take out the ores of his mining area ; which ores he intends to send to Swansea
for sale.

Mr. W. H. Palmer, Field Geologist, a practical miner of considerable experience,
who has worked in this district for several years, both in mining and prospecting, is now
engaged in attempting some further developments on the old Richardson mine, being con-
vinced, as he says, that there are rich deposits yet to be found in that vein.

A recent report affirms the discovery of a rich vein of argentiferous galena, which is
said to have assayed ninety ounces of silver to the ton, but the parties observe a discreet
silence as to the locality.

Several important discoveries of Iron ores have been made since the date of my last
report. Mr. Wm. Coe and others have prospected to advantage in Madoc and adjoining
townships, and a large deposit of magnetic iron ore has been found as far north as Mr.
McDevitt's mills in the Township of Wicklow, which has been pronounced by Professor
Bell, of Albert College, to be equal to the ore of the Blairton Mine in the Township of
Belmont.

Two gentlemen of large means engaged in the Iron trade of the United States,
Messrs. H. C. Lloyd, and Pardee, have been inspecting the iron deposits of the Northern
townships of this district, and have declared their intention ot investing a large amount
of capital, not only in taking out the ore, ])ut in manufacturing it in this country, pro-
viding railway communication can be estaldished with the front, in which case they will
establish smelting works in the town of Belleville. To meet the views of these gentle-
men and others, who, no doubt would be attracted hither by such facilities as a railway
affords, a determined effort is being made by the inhabitants of the County of Hastings
to have a line of railway constructed, leaving the Grand Junction R. R. at Walbritlge^s
Mills in the Township of Thurlow, and extending as far North as may be found practica-
ble or desirable. Already several bonuses have been promised by the ]\'! unicipalities
along the proposed line, by-laws for which are now in progress, and Wx so >n bo voted
upon. As this is a line which will not only develop the mines of gold, , i n, lead and

39

Sessional Papers (No. 20.) A. 1874

other metals and minerals which are known to exist in this district, and enable the lum-
berers to utilize large tracts of valuable pine lands which, from its remoteness from streams
or water courses, have been hitherto practically inaccessible, but will also afford an easy
access to the Free Grant and other Government lands of Hastings and the neighbouring
Counties, thereby largely increasing their value and ensuring their early settlement — on
these considerations I venture to commend this proposed line, known as the " Belleville
and North Hastings Railway," as being eminently deserving of assistance from the Gov-
ernment of Ontario.

Complaints have been made from time to time by persons desirous of purchasing
lands in the back townships, of the inconvenience caused by the present arrangement,
which they allege compels them to spend both time and money needlessly in travelling to
Toronto to do business at the Department, which could be transacted more advantageously
on the spot, or in Belleville. Some of those persons have desired me to suggest that it
would much facilitate the transactions in mineral and other lands, if the line of town-
ships on either side of the County of Hastings, viz. : from Belmont Northward on the
West side, and from Kaladar Northward on the East side, were transferred to this agency.

The importance of affording every possible facility for the transaction of the Land-
sale business will be manifest from the fact that over thirty thousand acres of land have
been sold in this district chiefly for mining purposes, since the commencement of the
present year.

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Your obedient servant,
(Signed) Alfred A. Campbexl.

The Commissioner of Crown Lands

February 25, 1874.
Hon. 0. MowAT.

Dear Sir, — T wrote Provincial Secretary some two weeks since, calling attention of
Government to the within application, and asking whether there was any omission or defect
in the information supplied, or whether the Company could supply any further information,
but have not been favoured with an answer. I believe the information supplied is more than
ordinarily complete and full, and I trust the Government will be able to deal with the question
during the present Session, or it will be a very serious matter for the road and Company.

I am satisfiedjthat, with an allowance, the road can be constructed ; and that it will be a
good and well-paying Line.

I am, &c.,

Arthur S. Hardy.

To the Honorable Oliver Mowat.

Sir, — Some time since, the Board of Directors of the Norfolk Railway Company were
to have met you by appointment, to lay before your Government the claims of their line of
railway to a grant from the Railway Aid Fund ; but, owing to your unavoidable absence from
the City, met the Hon. Provincial Treasurer instead, and laid before him the whole matter.
He then said, that if when the proper documentary application was made, the facts proved
to be as represented by the Board, he had no hesitation in declaring that the Brantford and
Port Burwell Branch of the Norfolk Railway, came under the provisions of the Railway
Subsidy Act, and would receive from your Government the aid to which it was entitled.

Immediately afterwards, the Board of Directors sent to the Provincial Secretary their
application for aid, and the documents necessary to prove the justice of their claims, but as
you had received no intimation that any action had been taken in the matter, and fearing
that in the hurry and bustle of Sessional labours, this matter of great importance to the
Railway Company, and to the Section of country through which the line is to run, may be
overlooked, we now call attention to it, and ask for an early and favourable consideration of
our claim. The position the railway now occupies is this: The necessary stock has been
subscribed, and the Company properly organized ; the line is permanently located from
Brantford to Pert Burwell, and surveys, maps, plans and specifications prepared, and muni-
cipal and private bonuses to the amount of over 84,000 a mile secured. And now the only
thing necessary to ensure the success of the enterprise is the granting of the required aid by
your Government. The contracts for the construction of the line can be signed within a few
weeks after the amount of the subsidy to be given us is settled ; and if this is done early,
and a liberal sum is granted, we have no hesitation in declaring that the greater portion of
the line will be constructed during the present year.

There is another matter of importance to this Company now before the House. We are
ai-king the Legislature to consolidate the various Acts incorporating this Company, and to
legalize the bonus by-laws passed by the several municipalities. This legalization is
only sought, however, to increase the confidence of capitalists in the bonds issued under these
by-laws, and thus enable the Company to secure a better price therefor, and for no other

2

Sessional Papers (No. 21.)

A. 1874

jturpose, as in no instance is there any complaint by the ratepayers against these by-laws, nor
any proceediugs taken in opposition thereto, which circumstance is a strong proof of the
great need there is for this railway, and of the unamimous desire of the people that it should
be built. We therefore ask your Government, in dealing with this question of legalizing
bonus by-laws, to distinguish between those bills seeking to legalize unopposed by-laws, and
which are asked for solely to increase the market value of the bonds or debentures issued
under the authority of the said by-laws, and those bills asking for the legalization of by-laws
that are opposed by the ratepayers, and are now before the courts of law.

We would further respectfully suggest that in granting subsidies to Railways, the grant
should be upon the condition that the Company shall receive so much cash per mile, or
interest on a certain sum per mile, as the case may be, not according to priority of ap-
plication, or of the Order in Council, but according to priority of construction. In other
words, that all Railways entitled to aid from the funds should be placed upon the same foot-
ing— pledge to each the grant it is entitled to, but upon the condition that the'first that earns
the cash shall receive it, and those that construct after the fund is exhausted shall receive the
interest on a certain sum per mile, as provided in the Act. This would prove a spur to
enterprise, and is only justice to those lines which are really a necessity, and therefore cer-
tain to be built. And if the same principle could be made to apply to those lines to which
aid has been already promised, we believe good would result.

Knowing that your time is valuable at present, and that you have very little time to
spare to discuss such matters with myself or others, I bring the subject before you in
this foim.

I have the honour to be,
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,

Dear Sir,— I am instructed by the Brantford, Norfolk and Port Burwell Railway Com-
pany to notify His Honour the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, that two Trustees have been
duly appointed, according to Railway Act, to secure the Municipal Debentures, and the Com-
pany would feel obliged if the Government would make the appointment of the third at as
early a date as convenient.

And would further ask, if possible, that the appropriation of the Government subsidy be
made at the rate of $2,000, as per mile, instead of the yearly allowance of interest and princi-
pal, as it would greatly facilitate the construction of this road, and materially lessen the amount
of bonds to be issued, and thus improve its financial position.

Re Norfolk Railway Company.

My Dear Sir, — In the absence of the Treasurer, I wrote you concerning the applica-
tion of our road for $2,000, instead of the alternative grant of interest provided for in the
Resolution granting aid.

S8 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 21.) A. 1874

The Directors have, T believe, written, setting out their claims in detail on this point,
and I do not, therefore, recapitulate them.

I trust it will be in the power of the Government to make the grant in the shape of money
direct, instead of by way of guaranty, as it will be beyond the power of the Company to build
without the grant direct. Our application was made very long since, and is anterior, in
point of time, I believe, to the application of any of those to which aid was granted during
last session.

It is a short local road, to be built almost entirely by Municipal bonuses and Government
grant, and the calculations have thus far been based S9 exclusively upon that mode of con-
struction, as to throw the direction quite out, if aid by guaranty be substituted for a direct
errant. Before they are in a position to let the contract, they require to gain the view of the
Oovernment on the present application, and will be obliged for an early decision.

Walker House, Corner of York and Front Streets,

Toronto, December 11th, 1874.
To the Hon. A. McKellar,

Provincial Secretary.

Dear Sir, — Owing to a misapprehension or oversight of the Order in Council, granting
aid to the Brantford, Norfolk and Port Burwell Railway, the Company omitted to furnish
the proof of the contract by the 1st December, inst. You now have the original contract in
your hands, and I beg to state that it is hona fide for the construction of the line from Brant-
ford to Port Burwell on Lake Erie, a distance of fifty miles. Benjamin C. Brown, of Brock-
ville, is the contractor, and he has performed the entire grading and bridging from Brantford
to Tilsonburg, the point of intersection of our line with the Canada Southern, and Loop
Line Railways. One of the bridges on the line is over the Grand River at Brantford, and is
a costly iron structure. Full enquiry was made by the Company as to standing and ability,
of Mr. Brown to perform the work before the contract was entered into, and were satisfied
from his standing and experience as a contractor, he was fully competent to perform the
work which has been realized by the way in which he has already completed a large portion
of the work.

It is the object of the Company to complete in as short a time as possible, the line to
Tilsonburg, a distance of 32 miles, with a view to an immediate connection with the lines I
have mentioned.

As the Order now stands, we are entitled to aid only for each 20 miles completed; it would
be largely in the interest of the road if the Order could be so changed as to enable the Com-
pany to draw the Government aid for the 32 miles entire, instead of in sections of 20 miles,
as at present provided.

I therefore, in behalf of the Company, beg to ask the Government to approve of the
contract although the 1st of December had passed, also to change the Order so that the Com-
pany may be enabled to draw the Government aid upon the 32 miles from Brantford to
Tilsonburg.

Maitland Young, Esq.,

Sec. Ham. & N. W. Ry. Cy.,
Hamilton, Ont.

To the Hon. Archibald McKellar,

Commissioner of Public JVorTcs,

For the Province of Ontario.

Sir, — In accordance with your instructions I proceeded to examine the country along
the proposed line of the " Hamilton and North Western Railway," from the City of Hamil-
ton to Barrie and CoUingwood.

I have completed an examination of the country as far as Clarksville (the junction of
the main line and the branch line to CoUingwood), situated in the Township of Tecumseth,
and distant from Hamilton 67^ miles. •

The proposed railway as surveyed runs eastward from the City of Hamilton about four
miles, thence in a northerly direction over what is commonly known as Burlington Beach,
and across the Counties of Halton, Peel, and Simcoe.

At the Village of Burlington (nine miles from Hamilton) it intersects the Toronto
branch of the Great Western Railway. At Milton (twenty-two miles from Hamilton) it
Intersects the Credit Valley Railway. At Georgetown (thirty-two miles from Hamilton) it
intei-sects the Grand Trunk Railway. At Carleton, East (forty-eight miles from Hamilton^
it intersects the Toronto, Grey and Bruce Railway.

The country between Hamilton and Clarksville is well settled, and is evidently a good
farming country.

The railways by which this portion of the country is already served, all run east and west
the proposed railway, crossing these at right angles, will afford greatly improved facilities
for travel and interchange of traffic, and in this respect prove of great benefit not only to the
country but to the intersected lines. The country abounds in water power. The proposed
railway crosses the twelve mile creek, at the Village of Zimmerman, in the Township of
Nelson, where there is a grist and saw-mill doing a large business; there is also a woollen
factory i n course of erection here. There are also several other mills on this stream at an
easy dis tance from where it is proposed to place stations.

At Milton, the County Town of Halton, the railway crosses the sixteen mile creek.
There are various mills here, and the business done admits of large extension. This place

has hitherto been without any railway facilities, and the progress of Milton and the surround-
ing country is dependent upon the construction of the " Hamilton and North Western Rail-
way." At Stewartown and Georgetown the railway crosses branches of the River Credit,
and follows the course of the main river from Georgetown by the Villaoes of Glen Williams,
Salmonville, Cheltenham, Boston, at all of which places various manufacturing industries are
carried on.

The railway leaves the main stream of the River Credit near Sligo, in the Township of
Caledon, and passing by the Village of Caledon Ea?t, enters the Township of Albion, in which
it crosses one or two small branches of the Humber, on which there are several grist and saw-
mills, viz., at Lockton, Centreville, Buckstown, and Ballycroy.

At the Village of Tottenham it crosses one of the numerous branches of the Nottawasaga
River.

This is a flourishing Village in the Township of Tecumseth, County of Simcoe. There
are two large grist mills here, capable of doing a large business. It is distant about thirteen
miles from Bolton Village, but owing to the hilly character of the roads in that direction, the
traffic goes by Bradford, on the Northern Railway, distant about eighteen miles. The want
of a railway here is much felt, and there can be no doubt the " Hamilton and North Western
Railway " will greatly promote the prosperity of this place. Four or five miles further north
is Clarksville, at which place the branch line to Collingwood diverges.

As to, the country between this place and Barrie and Collingwood, I will report on com-
pletion of my examination of it early next week.

Between Hamilton and Clarksville there are apparently no serious engineering difficulties,
but a good deal of heavy work will be required at several places, among which may be parti-
cularized the crossing of the south-east corner of Burlington Bay by pile bridging, a distance
of about one mile, and the crossing of Burlington Canal by a swing bridge ; the crossing of the
twelve mile creek at Zimmerman, and the west branch of the River Credit, at Stewartown.
The country along the valley of the Credit, north of Georgetown, is very broken, and also
across the Township of Albion.

I append a list of towns and villages along the line of railway between Hamilton and
Clarksville, and contiguous to it, which will be served thereby.

As far as my examination of the country has proceeded, I am strongly impressed with the
important advantage to be derived from the construction of the proposed railways.
I have the honour to be

To Hon. Archibald McKellar,

Commissioner Public Works, Ontario.
Sir, — After finishing my Report on the proposed route of the " Hamilton and North
Western," from Hamilton to Clarksville, in the County of Simcoe, I proceeded to Collingwood

9

S8 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 21.) A. 1874

and inspected the County from CoUingwood to Clarksville. and then took the branch from
Clarksville to Barrie.

From CoUingwood to Clarksville the line runs a southerly course through the Township
of South Xottawasaga, passing through Xottawa Tillage, only three miles from CoUingwood,
where there is a thriving village with some manufactories. There is very good water privi-
lege on what is called Pretty River. From this place the line proceeds on to the Village of
Duntroon, eight miles from CoUingwood. through a well-settled country, and fiirmers seem to
be doing well. Country, so far. quite rolling. The line from Creemore follows the valley up
to the Village of Creemore. a flourishing village, a distance of nine miles from Duntroon.
which section is well settled but is very hilly and appears to present heavy engineering diffi-
culties. From Creemore. the next important place is the Village of Avering, which place has
a most excellent water privilege, where there are some mills in operation manufacturing
lumber. Country around is not so thickly settled. From Avering the line goes to Glen-
cairn, a thriving village also possessing an excellent water power on Mad Eiver — is also sur-
rounded by a very good farming country which seems to extend some distance from the line
of road. From Glencairn to x\lliston, sixteen miles, the road passes through a large pine
tract watered by Pine River ; at AUiston, a village of considerable importance, containing six
or seven hundred inhabitants, where there is also a very fine water power, which is to some
extent utilized, there being several mills at this place. Alliston to Clarksville about ten
miles distant, is the proposed junction of the Barrie branch — is an important village about
the centre of the Township of Tecumseth, about twenty three miles from Barrie, and is in the
centre of a rich farming country. It is twelve miles from this place to Bradford, on the
Xorthern Railroad. From Clarksville to Barrie the line goes through an excellent farming
tract — and it is apparently an old settled section of country — passing through the important
villages of Cooksville and Thornton. From Clarksville to Cooksville a very good line is being
found for the road a distance of about ten miles, but from Cooksville to Barrie the country is
much more broken and presents many serious engineering difficulties.

The road enters Barrie at the north of the Town.

The greater part of this road from Hamilton to Barrie and CoUingwood will open up a very
rich and important agricultural district, and will also help to develop a large lumbering section,
a great portion of which is now comparatively destitute of railway facilities, and will give
that section a ready outlet and a choice of markets crossing, as it does, the Toronto, Grey
and Bruce, the Grand Trunk and Great Western at nearly right angles.

I found the inhabitants along the line of road most anxious for the completion of the
Hamilton and North Western, in order to give them a market near home for their produce,
which they have hitherto had to team a long distance to get to market.

All of which is respectfully submitted.

I have the honour to be,

Your obedient servant,

To the Honowrahh John CroMford, Lieutenant-Governor of the Province oj Ontario, in Council.

The Petition of the Hamilton and North Western Railway Company,
Humbly Sheweth :

That an Order was passed by your Honourable Council on the 19th day of March, 1874,
granting aid for that portion of your petitioners' line from Hamilton to Bairie, and Branch
Line from Clarksville to Collingwood, in which Order it was conditional that on or before
the 1st day of December, 1874, proof should be furnished to the satisfaction of your Honour
in Council of a hona fide and sufficient contract for the completion of the works of the said
portion of the railway (exclusive of track layingj.

Your petitioners have encountered unforeseen difficulties in perfecting their financial
arrangements, in consequence of which the active prosecution of the works has been delayed :
but these difficulties they have every prospect of surmounting so as to be able to proceed with
the works early next year. In the meantime your petitioners have, besides completing the
location surveys south of Barrie and Collingwood, expended considerable sums of money in
making thorough and exhaustive surveys of the county north of Barrie to enable them to
decide upon the best route northwards to the Georgian Bay, whence they look for the princi-
pal traffic for their main line, and where they look forward to making connection over the
Neutral Link Railway with the Canadian Pacific Railway.

Your petitioners have also taken initiatory steps for the submission of by-laws to the
various townships through which they purpose extending their line, with every prospect of
rea.sonable bonuses being granted.

The prospective advantages to be derived form this extension of their line into a lumber
territory on the Georgian Bay, were among the chief considerations which induced the more
southern Municipalities to grant such liberal aid to your petitioners' undertaking.

The intention of so extending their line has been set prominently forth in previous
memorials asking aid from the Railway Fund, presented by your petitioners in March, 1873,
and February, 1874.

This extension of their line is considered by your petitioners essential to the success of
the undertaking.

Not being yet prepared to submit a financial scheme, your petitioners delay making ap-
plication for aid to this part of their line until they have secured aid from the Municipalities.

Meantime your petitioners respectfully pray that, in considering any application for aid
towards the construction of other railways in that section of the Province, by Companies of
more recent incorporation than your petitioners'. Your Honour in Council would be pleased to
have due regard to the facts herein set forth. Your petitioners further pray that the time
for proof of contract specified in the Order in Council hereinbefore referred to, be extended
by a new Order in Council, till first July, 1875, and your petitioners as in duty bound will
ever pray.

Fresiderd.

Sir, — I am instructed by the Board of the London, Huron and Bruce Railway Com-
pany to request you will place I.efore the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, this application
from the Board for a fresh Order in Council, in the matter of the Government grant to the
London, Huron and Bruce Railway.

On account of circumstances solely relating to the Great Western Company, the carry-
ing out of the original arrangement with that Company has been delayed, but an agreement
has now nearly been concluded, under which the Great Western Company elects to build the
road themselves, but with much easier grades, and in a more substantial manner than is pro-
vided for by the specifications of the existing contract with Mr. William Hendrie, on this con-
dition, that an Order in Council be obtained granting .S2,000 per mile, from London to
Clinton, and .S2,000 per mile for any extension of the Road Ijeyond Clinton, not exceeding
23 miles, subject to the conditions that the work on the Road be commenced in good faith
before Loth January, 187.5.

Wherefore, the Board of Directors of the London, Huron and Bruce Railway Company
most respectfully ask of His Excellency to cause such Order in Council to be made and .sanc-
tioned by the Legislature.

Besides the amount of work executed on the fifty miles above referred to, there is, as you
may see by the Chief Engineer's report, a very large amount of work done on the main aud
branch lines in the Counties of Waterloo, Oxford, and Wellington.

On behalf of the Credit Valley Railway Company, I have the honour to request that the
Government will renew the Order in Council ; and as the Company is constructing its works
itself, without the intervention of contractors, the Order in Council may be so arranged as to
suit the circumstances.

Hon. A. McKellar,

To His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governm- in Council.
The Petition of the Credit Valley Railway Company,
Sheweth :

By an Order in Council approved by His Excellency on the twenty-sixth day of March,
A.D. one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three, payment was authorized to be made to
your petitioners out of the Railway Subsidy Fund, of one hundred and eighty- four dollars and
forty cents per mile, of that portion of their road between Toronto and the intersection with
the said Railway of the Brock Road, to the Township of Puslinch.

Fird. Upon condition that the said Company should, on or before the first day of De-
cember, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three, furnish proof to the satisfaction of the
Lieutenant-Governor in Council, of the existence of a bona fide contract fer the completion of
the works, exclusive of track laying, on that portion extending from Toronto to St Thomas,
via Gait and Woodstock.

Second. On condition that His Excellency in Council might, before the first day of
January, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-four, direct payment to be made to the said
Company, out of the Railway Fund, at the rate of two thousand dollars per mile, of that por-
tion between Toronto and St. Thomas, via Gait and Woodstock, instead of the annual mileage
of one hundred and eighty-four dollars and forty cents.

By the said Order in Council, payment was authorized to be made out of the said R lil-
way Subsidy Fund to the said Company, of one hundred and eighty-four dollars and forty
cents per mile, of that portion between Streetsville and Alton, under the condition afore.'^aid,
exclusiveof the condition as toproof of contract for the completion of the work between Toronto
and St. Thomas, but subject to proof as to that portion between Streetsville and Alton. Pay-
ment was also authorized in respect of any portion between the said points respectively, not
less than twenty miles in length, in the fulfilment of the conditions of the Act, as to such por-
tion, and with respect to the portion firstly mentioned, in proof of the existence of a bona fide
contract for the completion of the works between Toronto and St. Thomas, and with respect
to the portion secondly mentioned by the like proof for the completion of the works between
Streetsville and Alton.

By an Order in Council approved by His Excellency on the seventeenth day of 31arch,
one thousand eight hundred and seventy-four, the time allowed as above was extended to the
first day of December, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-four, as to that portion of the
road between Toronto and St. Thomas, via Gait and Woodstock.

Your petitioners beg to show that instead of building their road by " contract," in the
usual way, they have, from the first, been their own contractors, and have themselves employed
engineers and superintendents, workmen and agents of all kinds ; and have prosecuted the
works up to the present time, under their own special superintendence and supervision.

They have, by this mode, effected a very large saving in the construction of their said
works, and they have no doubt that their financial statement, upon the completion of their

15

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 21.) A. 1874

said road, will show a smaller capital account than any other road, by the same general
character, heretofore built in this country. But inasmuch as by taking this course they have
not accurately complied with that condition of the Order in Council which requires a contract,
they are obliged to ask your Excellency in Council for a modification of the said Orders in
that respect.

With respect to the main line of their road, they beg to make the following statement of
work done : —

Grading. — From station 64 (a point 2|^ miles distant from Queen Street, Toronto) the
grading is finished continuously for a distance of 27|^ miles, to the Town of Milton. Between
Milton and the Brock Road there are 6|^ miles graded. Between Gait and Drumbo there are
Hi miles graded. Total grading completed on main line, 45i miles.

Bridges, Culverts and Cattle Guards. — The cattle guards and culverts are completed
between station 64 and Milton. The following large bridges are finished, viz. : the Humber,
Mimico, Etobicoke, Pallett's Creek, Cooksville and Streetsville bridges ; there are also several
smaller bridges completed, and the timber is all delivered for the few small structures remain-
ing east of Milton.

Fencing. — The fencing is completed between station 64 and Milton with the exception
of two miles, the material for which is on the grounds. Between Milton and the Brock Road
three miles of Railway are fenced, and the material for the remainder of the fencing nearly all
delivered.

Ties. — A large proportion of ties required for the line between Toronto and the Brock
Road have been taken out.

Branch Line.

Grading. — The grading is completed continuously from the Junction at Streetsville to
Boston Mills, a distance of 19i miles, with the exception of a few hundred feet where right
of way could not be procured (the property being in Chancery.) Between Boston Mills and
Orangeville there are four miles graded.

On the line through the County of Wellington, four miles have been graded ; the total
distance graded on the branch lines being 27^ miles.

-Bridges, Culverts, and Cattle Guards. — The principal bridge between Streetsville and
i^rampton has been completed, and the material for the other four small bridges is all delivered.
The cattle guards and culverts are finished between the junction and Brampton.

Fencing. — The material for the fencing is nearly all delivered between the junction and
Cheltenham. Between the junction and Edmonton the fence is completed with the exception
of three miles.

Ties. — A considerable number of ties have been delivered along the line in the Township
of Caledonia.

Your memorialists therefore pray that the said Order in Council may
be so modified and altered as to authorize the said payments to be made,
notwithstanding the fact that the said works have been undertaken and
proceeded with by themselves, instead of through the medium of con-
tractors.

That the time for completing the works mentioned in the said Order
in Council be extended until the 1st of January, 1876.

That payment may be authorized to be made to them in respect of
other portions of their line, as to which proof may be laid before your
Excellency in Council, showing that the work, exclusive of track laying,
has been satisfactorily and bona fide completed.

And your memorialists will ever pray.

(Copy.)
To the Honourable John ('rairford, Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Ontario, in Council.
The Petition of the Wellington, Grey and Bruce Railway Company,

Humbly Sheweth :

That by an Order in Council, approved by Your Excellency, bearing date the sixteenth
of March, one thousand eight hundred and seventy-four, and ratified by a resolution of the
]^egislative Assembly of the Province of Ontario, on the twentieth day of the said month of
March, a subsidy of one hundred and ninety-four dollars and forty cents per mile, per an-
num, for a term of twenty years, was granted on that portion of jour petitioners' line of
railway between Palmerston and Wingham (a distance of thirty-nine miles,) conditioned
that proof .should be made to your Excellency on or before the first day of July, one thou-
sand eight hundred and seventy-four, of the completion and delivery to your petitioners of
the whole of the Southern Extension of their railway, namely from Palmerston to Kincardine,
with suitable station buildiuf^s and facilities for tratlic ; and of the same being worked by
your petitioners or by some other Company duly authorized in that behalf by your peti-
tioners.

At the time of the passing of the said Order, your petitioners had nearly completed that
said railway, but in consequence of the advance in the price of the iron required for the
railway, and of other expenses incurred in the construction thereof, exceeding the estimates
made for the same, and also in consequence of the fact that the Great Western IJailway did
not give their consent to the issue of bonds in support of the mileage in the sidings of your
petitioners' railway in terms of the third section of the Act 34 Victoria, chapter 37, your peti-
tioners were not in a position to pay their contractors in full, and they held the said line of
railway under a claim of lien thereon in terms of their contract, aiid although the said rail-
way was, previous to said first day of July last, .sufiiciently completed to be ready for traffic,
yet your petitioners were unable to hand over the same to be worked by the Great Western
Railway Company in terms of the lease and agreements between the two Companies, and in
con.sequence did not obtain the subsidy granted under the said Order.

Your petitioners .are now applying for Legislative aid to enable them to pay off and
discharge their debts and liabilities, and at once to open and work the Southern Extension of
their railway, and they are sanguine that the Great Western Railway Company will now grant
their consent to the issue of the bonds in respect of the mileage in the sidings of your peti-
tioners' railway, to the extent authorised by the said Act.

That by reason of the delay that has taken place in opening or working the said South-
ern Extension, further expenditure has been necessary to maintain the same and keep it in a
condition to be worked, and the liabilities and claims against your petitioners have been largely
increased by accumulations of interest and otherwise, and your petitioners stand in greater
need of aid from the Railway Fund now than at the time the said Order in Council was
granted, and in consideration of their means for securing the early opening of the said South-
ern Extension, your petitioners have reckoned upon a renewal of the said grant and would
humbly submit that, in view of your petitioners' increased debts and expenditure, the aid
from the said fund should be increased.

Your Petitioners therefore pray, that your Excellency may be
pleased to grant to your Petitioners such aid from the Railway Fund as
will, with your Petitioners' other resources, enable them to discharge their
liabilities, and secure the opening of their said Railway.

And your Petitioners, as in duty bound, will ever pray, &c.

To the Honourable John Craxoford, LieuterMnt-Governor of the Province of Ontario, in
Council.

The Petition of the Wellington, Grey and Bruce Railway Company,

Humbly Sheweth :

That your petitioners heretofore were granted aid from the Parliamentary subsidy fund,
to the extent of two thousand dollars (.$2,000) per mile on that portion of the Kincardine
fork of their Railway lying between Wingham and Kincardine, and that by an Order in
Council approved of on the sixteenth day of March last, a subsidy of S194.40 per mile per
annum for a term of twenty years, or in lieu thereof a sum of $2,000 per mile was granted to
your petitioners on that portion of the Kincardine fork lying between Palmerston and Wing-
ham, a distance of thirty -nine miles, subject, among other conditions, to the completion of the
Kincardine forks, and the working of the same on or before the first day of July last.

That your petitioners have presented a petition to your Excellency praying for the exten-
sion or renewal of the said last mentioned grant, the same having lapsed.

That in consequence of the additional expenditure to which your petitioners have been
put in tlie maintenance of the said Kincardine fork, and of the accumulation of interest and
other expenses, it is necessary in order to secure the immediate opening of the said fork, that
a further grant should be made to your petitioners in respect of the whole of the S£vid Kincar-
dine fork.

Your petitioners would point your Excellency to the fact that aid to the extent of twenty-
five hundred dollars (.$2, .500) per mile has been granted to at least one other Railway in the
same section of country, and would humbly submit that in addition to the renewal or exten-
.sion of the Order in Council, granting two thousand dollars per mile on the portion of the line
of the fork lying between Palmerston and Wingham, they should be granted further aid in re-
spect of the whole of the Kincar-dine fork — a distance of upwards of sixty-six miles — to the
extent of at least five hundred dollars per mile, in order to secure the immediate opening of
the said fork, which is of so great importance to the inhabitants of the country traversed
thereby, as well as of the public generally.

Your Petitioners therefore pray that your Excellency may be pleased,
in addition to the extension of such former grant, to authorize the pay-
ment to your petitioners of the further sum of five hundred dollars per
mile on the said Kincardine fork, from 'the said Railway subsidy fund,
to enable them to secure the immediate opening of the said fork.
And your petitioners, as in duty bound will ever pray.

Lutterworth, September 10, 1874.

To His Excellency the Lieutenant-Gover)ior of the Province of Ontario.

We, the undersigned, have been requested by the ratepayers of the Township of l.utter-
worth to show to Your Excellency that a part of the Township up to the 10th Concession,
and as far west as Lot 15, have been grouped with the Township of Snowden and the English
Company's Townships at Haliburton, for the purpose of giving a bonus of fifty-five thousand
dollars to the Victoria Railway. We humbly beg and entreat Your Excellency to withhold
your assent from the by-law for the following reasons, so far as the Township of Lutter-
worth is concerned : —

First. The road does not touch any part of the township, and that most of the settlers
are from fifteen to twenty miles from the Village of Kinmount, where the nearest station
will be to them, and that they are nearer and more convenient to Coboconk, which is their
natural outlet; and that many of the settlers are just commencing their struggle in the bush,
and have to undergo great hardships and privations to procure a living ; and also, that we
think it tyrannical and unjust to group us with the Township of Snowden, through which the
road passes, as well as the English Company's lands at Haliburton ; and also, that a number
of the settlers were not permitted to vote, on the grounds that they had taken up their land,
anticipating it would be given as free grants, the same as the other townships ; and also,
that every sort of trickery and coercion was resorted to, to carry it through.

We have no other resource left us, but to lay the case befoi-e Your Excellency, who is
the representative of our Most (Jracious Sovereign, for protection. A Petition is in course
of circulation for signatures, and will be forwarded to Your Excellency as soon as possible.
We have the honour to subscribe ourselves,

Y^our most obedient servants.

Sir, — I am directed to transmit herewith a copy of a Petition of the ratepayers of the
Township of Lutterworth, praying that assent be not given to the By-law of Lutterworth,
Snowden and Haliburton, granting a bonus of $55,000 to the Victoria Railway.

I am further directed to request you to furnish particulars of the vote cast for and
against the Ly-law in the difi"erent Sections, and also to ask for any statement regarding the
matter that the Company may deem fit to make.

Sir, — I have the honour, in compliance with your request of the 22nd instant, in refe-
rence to the By-law of the County of Haliburton for $.55,000 in favour of the Victoria Rail-
way Company, to transmit the two annexed statements and certificates. ^

On behalf of the Railway Company, I also beg leave to add, that I havu officially in-
quired into the correctness of the statement made by Messieurs George Kellett and Au.stin
Hillier, of the loth September, in reference to the coercion of voters and other improper
practices complained of, and that I believe it to have no foundation in fact.

27

And further, that so much of the statement as is intended to show that the grouped por-
tion of Lutterworth cannot be benefited by the Railway is grossly erroneous.

And that the facts in relation to this matter are truly and correctly set forth in Para-
graphs Nos. 2 and 3, on pages one and two of the annexed schedule.

I also beg to refer you to the annexed sketch, as showing the position of the proposed
railway in reference to Lutterworth, and to say that engineering difficulties at Kinmount
render any material deviation from this route impracticable.

As to the publication of the by-law, el'c. : —

1. The copy of the by-law transmitted to the Honourable the Provincial Secretary is
a true copy, as appears from the certificate attached to it.

The by law was published as follows : —

First insertion in the Canadian Post, Lindsay, and the Wee/di/ News, Minden, on Friday,
24th July, 1874 ; second on 31st ; third on 7th Auaust, and 4th on 14th August.

The vote was taken on the 15th of August.

The third reading was given on the 27th of August, by the Council unanimously.

No objection was made by Messrs. Kellett and Hillier, or by any other persons to the
councils submitting or passing the by-law.

After the presentation of the petition oP the ratepayers for the submission of a by-law,
the Council adjourned for about a fortnight, for the expressed purpose of giving freeholders
an opportunity of petitioning under Section o of the Victoria Railway* Company Act of
1874 (Chapter (33 of 37 Victoria).

No petition was presented, and no objection was made.

More than six (the required number) printed copies were put up in the form of hand
bills, in the most public places in the Municipality as required by the Municipal Law.

The times and places for voting appeared in these hand bills, as well as in the advertised
notices in a conspicuous manner.

I, Samuel Stanley Peck, of the Village of Minden, Clerk of the Provisional County of
Haliburton. certify as follows : — That the statements made in the two foregoing pages, with,
reference to the voting for and against the by-law in aid of the Victoria Railway ; with re-
ference to the publication of the notices ; the date of voting ; the proceedings of the Council ;
the adjournment of the Council for the expressed purpose stated, and the fact that no peti-
tion or objection was presented against the submission of the by-law, are true and correct.

Given under my hand and the seal of the said County, this 2 Gth day of September,

Haliburton By-laiv for So 5,000 in aid of the Victoria Railway Company.
Reply to the objections of George Kellett and Austin Hillier, of the 10th Sept., 1873.
Further answers appear in the annexed certificate given in answer to a communication
from the Honourable the Provincial Secretary, of the 22nd of September.

1. George Kellett is not a resident within the limits of the group embraced in the by-law.

2. The proposed line of the Victoria Railway will either pass through a portion of the
Township of Lutterworth or within half a mile of it.

The conformation of the country near Kinmount (the terminus of the first section of
the railway), which is only three-quarters of a mile from the south-east corner of Lutterworth,
makes it imperative on the Railway Company to go through, or near a portion of Lutter-
worth in order to reach Kinmount ; there is a mountain on the east side of the Burnt River at
Kinmount, and the railway going north to Haliburton, would have to pass on the west or
Lutterworth side of the river.

3. The Township of Snowden lies side by side with Lutterworth, and the course of the
railway after leaving Kinmount runs diagonally through Snowden. The Company have
given a bond to locate a main station at or near the centre of Snowden, which of itself, and
without the station at Kinmount, would afford reasonable accommodation to the people of
Lutterworth.

The strip taken off Lutterworth for the purpose of this by-law is about four miles wide
and the greatest possible distance from the furthest extremity of this strip to the Snowden
Station would not exceed over seven or eight miles.

So far as the Kinmount Station is concerned, it would be at the doors of the people in
the southern portion of that strip. The average distance of the residents in that part from
the Kinmount Station is under three miles.

The statement that most of the settlers are from fifteen to twenty miles distant from
Kinmount is extravagantly false. The whole Township is only nine miles square, so that any
person traversing any two sides of the square to Kinmount could only travel eighteen miles ;
and when it is considered that the portion grouped is only, practically, about a quarter of
the Township, and that, the quarter nearest Kinmount, the absurdity of the statement must
be quite manifest.

4. As to the statement that settlers were not permitted to vote : — There were only two
or three votes objected to, and the persons thus objected to were Squatters, and not entitled
to vote.

5. As to coercion and improper practices : — There was no interference whatever of any
kind with the freedom of the voter. Mr. Hartle, the Reeve of Lutterworth, was at the
polling place superintending the voting, and is prepared to verify that everything was done in
a fair and open manner, and that there were no improper practices.

I, Samuel Stanley Peck, of the Village of Minden, in thy County of Haliburton, certify
as follows : —

From my being a resident of the said County and Clerk of the County, and from my
having a thorough knowledge of the localities, and of the several matters and things therein
contained are true in substance and in fact, to the best of my knowledge and belief.

I say further, that L have made it my business to ascertain and follow accurately the
actions of the said Railway Company from its commencement, and that I have a personal
knowledge of what is stated with reference to it, as well as with reference to other matters
in the foregoing statement.

freely and without coercion : and that no person was kept from voting, by coercion, trickery
or any other improper means.

There were very few votes cast , and there are very few residents and voters in the por-

Sir,-— I beg leave to request, on behalf of the Victoria Railway Company, the honour
of an interview with the Government, for the purpose of making very important explanations
with regard to the present condition and future prospects of that railway, both as regards
itself and the fate of the immigration with which it is more or less associated.

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Sir, — T have the honour to request that you will call the attention of the Directors of
the " Victoria Railway Company " to the Order in Council of the 19th March, 1874, by
which it will be seen that the " Construction Contract " for the line between Lindsay and
Bobcaygeon, is limited to the 1st December, 1874. It will be necessary, therefore, for the
Company to send in a formal application to the Government with the least possible delay,
praying for an extension of time.

Hon. a. McKellar,

Provincial Secretary, Toronto.

Sir, — On behalf of the Victoria Railway Company, I have the honour to draw your
attention to the fact that the works of that Company are being carried on without the in-
struction of contractors, by the Company itself, and that it becomes necessary in consequence,
to so arrange the Order in Council, as to be made applicable to the said circumstances. The
conditions of the Order are different from those of the Credit Valley and many other rail-
ways, and it will materially conduce to the success of the enterprise if the Government
will make the money payable on sections of fifteen and twenty miles of the railway, as com-
pleted and made ready for the iron. It is a matter of grave consequence to the Company, as
also to the people of the district through which the Victoria Railway is being constructed,
that the works be carried on through the free grants during the ensuing summer season.
The Company, therefore, must respectfully appeal to the Government that such arrange-
ments may be made as will enable the Company to carry on its works.

I have the honour to be, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

G. Laidlaw,

President.

To His Excellency John Crawford, lAeutenant-Oovernor in Council.

The Petition of the Victoria Railway Company,
Humbly Sheweth, as follows:

That by an Order in Council approved by your Excellency, on the 19th day of March,,
1874, and ratified by the Legislative Assembly on the 21st day of the same month, an ap-
propriation was made to your petitioners from the Railway Subsidy Fund, upon the following
conditions, namely : — »

That your Petitioners should, on or before the first day of December, 1874, furnish proof
to the satisfaction of Your Excellency in Council, of a bona fide and sufficient contract for
the completion of their Railway for a certain portion of their Railway.

That your Petitioners having found that it would be much more advantageous to them,
to do all the work of construction themselves, than let it out on contract, have not made any
contract for the completion of the said Railway, believing that Your Elxcellency in Council,
would, upon a representation of all the facts of the case, approve of your Petitioners adopting
this mode of constructing their said Railway.

That your Petitioners have made very considerable progress with the construction of the
said Railway since the passing of the said Order, having had soir.e hundreds of men engaged
thereon for many months past ; and they believe that they have in fact, made greater pro-
gress than they could have made by having their line constructed by contract.

Your Petitioners also beg respectfully to represent, that owing to the circumstances of

31

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 21). A. 1874

the country throuiili which their line is located, it is necessary to the certain construction of
the said Railway, that the aid trranted should be available on the completion of every fifteen
miles of Railway made ready for iron.

Your petitioners therefore pray that the time limited in the said Order may be extended
for another year ;

Or that some other condition may be substituted for the condition specially referred to.

And that adequate portions of the said fund may be made available on the construction
of every fifteen miles as aforesaid.

And your Petitioners will ever pray.

be dispensed with, and the Company relieved from such condition, and that the time for

Dear Sir, — Referring to our conversation of yesterday, relative to the coat of actual
construction of the " Northern Extension Railways," I have now to inform you, that the cost
per mile, independent of preliminary and engineering expenses, is $19,700.

Truly Yours,

Owen Jones,

To His Excellency the Honourable the lAeutenant-Governor of Ontario.

The Petition of the Northern Extension Railways Company,
Humbly Sheweth:

That your Petitioners are engaged in the construction of railways, having for their
object the improvement of the connection between Lakes Ontario and Huron, and more
3 33

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 21). A. 1874

especially to the provision of railway service to the Free Grant Territories of Muskoka, with
a view to the settlement of those Territories and the development of their great lumber and
agricultural interests, now dormant.

That your Petitioners, having constructed and opened for traffic nearly 55 miles of
railway, are now endeavouring to construct the balance of their line between Washago and
Gravenhurst.

That with the exception of $12,500 contributed by the Village of Orillia, they have
received no local municipal assistance whatever throughout the whole length of the 50 miles
of their railway, from Barrie to Lake Muskoka, whilst the Parliamentary subsidy, for a
considerable portion of that length, has been at the smallest mileage rate given to any com-
pany in Ontario, and when granted, was represented by your Petitioners, as totally inade-
quate to the exceptional value and difficulties of the undertaking.

That the portage between Lake Simcoe and Lake Muskoka, namely, from Washago to
Gravenhurst (16 miles), whilst commercially, and for purposes of settlement and de-
velopment, the most important portion of that railway, insomuch as that it will open out an
area of 3,000 square miles of timber and agricultural lands, tributary to the group of the
Muskoka Lakes, and will also open the shortest possible route to Lake Nipissing by the
Colonization Road now under construction by the Government, is also the most expensive
portion of their undertaking, and is wholly through wild and unsettled lands, yielding no ap-
preciable present traffic.

That ft accordingly has claims which, in the public interest, are superior to those of any
other railway in this Province receiving Parliamentary aid, as there is no other railway now
under construction in similar unsettled country, and none which will have such an immediate
and beneficial influence in opening up and settling the wild lands of the Government.

That unless additional parliamentary assistance be granted in aid of completing the rail-
way to Lake Muskoka, the work must be stopped, and the development of that district by rail-
way service be indefinitely postponed.

That your petitioners, therefore, prny that your Excellency, when considering the addi-
tional grants to be made to other railways, and especially to any which are already completed
through well-settled and well-developed dit^Tricts, will be pleased to consider the higher claims
which this company has upon the wist and just liberality of Parliament, and that your
Excellency will authorize such additional appropriation to be made, in aid of this most im-
portant undertaking, as its merits as a public work of incalculable value to the country, may
warrant.

And your petitioners, as in duty bound, will every pray, &c.

PiCTON, February 23rd, 1874.
The Hon. Mr. Mowat,

Legislative Assembly.
Dear Sir, — I wish to introduce myself to you, just to say a few words respecting the
Prince Edward Railway, and what benefit it will be to this country. We have good ports

4.0

\

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 21). A. 1374

on every side of the county, not only for schooners that will carry from eighteen to twenty
thousand bushels of grain from any port, at three cents per bushel, to Oswego. The farmers
here don't want to give 6 cents to go 35 miles to tap the Grand Trunk west of the county.
There are now three to one of the farmers that are hard against it : that is,they dou't want any
road, or to have the charter renewed. Please throw it under the table before the second
reading and let it drop, for the people do not want it at all. I wish to inform you that there
are a few annexationists here in town that want a Railroad ; they think to make a good thing
of it, grading and making the road that is the best of it — for there is nothing for a road to do.
Our friend Mr. Striker told me before he left that it would drop, as the County Council would
not grant the bonus. Please take action on it whefi it comes before you, as it would be a
great benefit to the country to let it drop. If it would be any information to the House, T
would come up and explain the whole thing to the House, and then they would know how to
act upon it. My dear sir, you think perhaps I am too fast, but you can ask Mr. Striker — who
is this that is writing? or ask the Rev. Dr. Green, they will tell you. I could give all the
information required on the Railroad, as I am an old settler ; for over .58 years I have lived
in the County. The farmers here can at any point deliver their grain by drawing it from six
to eight miles, at any wharf. I think that quite sufficient. We want no Railroad to
accommodate three or four corrupt annexationists. Dear Sir, if you want further information
on the subject, be so good as to send me a note.

I remain, yours affectionately,

(Signed) John Thompson.

Dear Sir, — About a week ago, understanding that you were to be in Belleville, I went
up to that town for the purpose of seeing you on the subject of extending the time for filing
the contract for the construction of the Prince Edward County Railway. Walter Ross,
Esquite, one of our Directors, accompanied me, who availed himself of an opportunity to speak
to you on the subject, and I learned from him that if we made the application in form, that the
necessary extension would be granted. I now beg to hand you herewith a petition from the
officers of the Company, respectfully asking His Excellency in Council to grant us an exten-
sion of twelve months from 1st July ensuing. Your kind compliance will greatly oblige the
Company and

Your obedient servant,

(Signed) Chs. Bockus,

Vice-President.
The Hon. 0. Mowat,

Attorney-General, &c., &c.,
Toronto, Ontario.

To His Excellency John Crawford, Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of

Ontario.

The petition of the Prince Edward County Railway Company,
Humbly Sheweth :

That the derangement of the monetary affairs of the country, and especially the discredit
attached to railway investments for some months past, not only in the money markets of Amer-
ica, but also in Europe, in consequence of the recent panic in the United States, which grew
out of such investments, has prevented your petitioners from complying with the terms^and
conditions of the Order in Council, approved by your Excellency on the 30th day of Decem-
ber, A.D. 1873, made in their behalf.

That your petitioners have reason to believe the country is gradually recovering from the
depression above referred to, and from the negotiations now in train, the Company are of the
opinion that at no distant day they will be in a position to consummate a contract for the con-
struction of their railway, which will secure its rapid completion.

Your petitioners therefore pray that your Excellency in Council will be pleased to extend
the time for filing a bona fide and sufficient contract for the completion of the works (exclusive
of track-layinLr) on that portion of the Prince Edward County Railway, between the Grrand
Trunk Kail way and Picton, to the first day of July, A.D. 1875.
And your petitioners as in duty bound will ever pray.

Office of the Prince Edward County Railway,
PiCTON, 23rd July, 1874.

Sir,- I am to thank you for your favour of the 18th instant, accompanying an Order
ia Council, extending the time allowed our Company to file their contracts, &c., on certain
conditions, which appear to be that His Excellency in Council, may, at his option, direct that
the payment of the grant of S2,.500 per mile, heretofore made, may be made out of the Rail-
way Subsidy Fund, in half-yearly payments of $121.50 for the term of twenty years from
the 1st day of January, 1872.

Presuming that this mode of payment is so arranged as to serve as an available fund for
the payment of the construction when the road is completed, and that payment has been
made in that form, to some of the existing roads in the Province, I will be greatly obliged to
you (if not attended with too much trouble^, if you will inform me in what form of document
the payment will be made in our case, supposing our road to be completed on the first day of
January, 1877, when ten of the half-yearly payments will have matured.

I have the honour to he, Sir,

Your obedient servant.

Office op the Prince Edward County Railway,
PiCTON, 10th August, 1874.

My dear Sir, — In acknowledging the receipt of the Order in Council received from you
on 23rd July, I took the liberty of asking you to give me some information respecting the
mode of payment followed by the Government, in the event of their deciding to make pay-
ment of the bonus to our Company from the Railway Subsidy Fund.

Our anxiety to be able to avail ourselves of that bonus, in paying for the construction
of the road, is my apology for agaio calling your attention to my enquiry, and I beg to assure
you the information, at your earliest convenience, will be of great service to the Company.

Your obedient Servant,

Office of the Prince Edward County Railway Company,

PiCTON, August 31, 1874.

Dear Sir, — During your absence in England, iha Lieutenant-Governor in Council was
kind enough to extend the time allowed to our Company to file the contracts for the construction
of our Railway to the 1st July, 1875, " on condition that His Excellency in Council may, at
his option, in lieu of the payment of two thousand five hundred dollars per mile, for the said
portion of Railway which is, by the Order in Council of 24th March, 1873, authorized to be
made, direct that payment be authorized to be made out of the Railway Subsidy Fund, to
the said Company, of the sum of two hundred and forty-three dollars per mile for the said
portion of their Railway, such sum to be payable by even half-yearly payments of one hun-
dred and twenty -one dollars and fifty cents each, on the 30th day of June and the 31st day of
December in each and every year during the period of twenty years, to be computed
from the first day of January, 1872, and to the full end thereof"

Presuming that this mode of payment is so arranged by the Government that it will be
available to the grantees when the road is completed, to apply in payment of the cost of
construction, but not fully understanding the manner in which the payment will be made. I

promote the construction of its Railway.

RETURN

OF REPORTS AND CORRESPONDENCE RELATIVE TO THE SCHOOL
OF AGRICULTURE AND EXPERIMENTAL FARM.

COMMISSIONER'S REPORT.

To Hu ExcellPMcii the Honourable John Crawford, Lieutenant-
Gomrnor of the Province of Ontario.

The undersigned begs to submit the following as his first Annual Report in relation to
the School of Agriculture and Experimental Farm.

The offer of F. W. Stone, Esq., for the sale of the Morton Lodge property as a site for
the School of Agriculture and Experimental Farm, having been accepted, an agreement was
entered into on the 31st March, 1873, defining the terms of the purchase, and by which im-
mediate possession of the new house and about four acres of ground immediately attached to
it, together with the right of ingress and egress, was to be given to Government, in order that
the building might be prepared for the occupation of pupils. The other portions of the Farm
and premises were to remain in the possession of Mr. Stone until the 1st December, by which
time it was expected that the title would be perfected, the deeds prepared, and the purchase
completed.

On the 1st April, 1873, therefore, the Government prepared to take possession of the
House, sending a person to act as caretaker. But, in violation of the agreement made with
him, Mr. Stone refused possession until the purchase money had been paid, and in spite of
every effort made to obtain an amicable settlement, the commencement of the work, which
was necessary before the buildings could be occupied for a School of Agriculture, was delayed
for .six months.

Possession having been obtained on the 1st of October, the following additions were
commenced : a dining-room, kitchen, store rooms, and laundry on the ground flat and a
l(!Cture-room, reading-room, bath-room, and domestics' apartments on the upper flat, contained
in a stone building, with a coal-shed attached, together with tanks and wells for the storage
and supply of water for heating and domestic purposes. Owing to the late date at which
these works were commenced, and the imperative necessity for finishing them in time for a
winter session, as was then contemplated, considerable extra expense was entailed. The
original contract, for the alterations and additions to the building made October 8, 1873, was
let to Mr. James Barclay, for the sum of $2,533. In addition there were constructed at
contract prices, by D. S. Keith, the apparatus for steam heating and water supply, amounting
to $3,400. Considerable additions and improvements were subsequently made on the sug
gestion of the Principal.

In December, 1873, the buildings were so far completed as to admit of occupation, but
it was not considered advisable to introduce pu])ils into sleeping apartments which had been
finished during the cold weather, and were still damp. It was, therefore, decided to postpone
the opening of the College until the 1st May, and the following advertisement, calling for ap-
plications for admission, was published in several leading newspapers :

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 23.) A. 1874

ONTARIO SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE,

AND

EXPERIMENTAL FARM.

This Institution will be open for the reception of pupils on the 1st day of May next
when a preparatory term of one year will be commenced.

The objects of the Institution are : — First, To give a thorough mastery of the practice
and theory of husbandry to young men of the Province engaged in agricultural and horticul-
tural pursuits, or intending to engage in such. And Second. To conduct experiments tending
to the solution of questions of material interest to the Agriculturists of the Province, and
publish the results of the same from time to time.

Until the farm has been systematically laid out and brouo-ht into order for the special
purposes to which it is to be applied, and until the necessary buildings and offices have been
erected, it is not deemed expedient to settle definitely the curriculum of instruction to be given,
or the conditions upon which students will be admitted when the Institution is in full opera-
tion. For some time to come the work of the farm will be mainly confined to the preparation
of the fields and buildings for the systematic instruction of pupils, and during this preparatory
term, the chief aim will be to teach the pupils how to perform the farm-work in the best and
most profitable manner, coupled with such an amount of scientific knowledge as will enable
them clearly to comprehend the results sought to be obtained from each operation, and the
scientific facts and principles on which it is based.

During said term the number of pupils will be limited to the strength that can be profit-
ably employed in the operations of the farm, and as this number must necessarily be small at
present (namely about thirty) a selection will be made, in case more than the required number
apply, of such as shall be considered likely to derive the most benefit from the instruction to
be given.

The Institution will be strictly non-sectarian, but all pupils — except those who from
conscientious scruples formally object to do so — will be required to be regularly present at
morning and evening prayers, and also to attend their respective places of worship at least
once every Sunday.

The pupils must engage on an average seven hours daily in the work of the farm, farm-
yard and garden.

In return for their work they will receive instruction, board, lodging, and washing free
of expense, and, in the event of their completing the term, and passing the prescribed exami-
nation during the year to the satisfaction of the Principal and his colleagues, they will each
receive at the close of the year the sum of fifty dollars in money.

The qualifications necessary for admission to the Institution for the said preparatory
Term shall be merely those which under the Provincial School Law, every boy must possess
in passing from a common school into a High School, viz: A thorough knowledge of

Arithmetic : — As far as Simple Proportion, inclusive :

English Grammar and Composition : — Analysis and parsing of sentences ; writing
a familiar letter ; reading, spelling, and dictation,.

OutVmes of English and Canadian JJistory.

Outlines of General Geography, and Geographij of the l)or)nnion of Canada.

A certificate of admission to any High School or College in the British Empire, or a
certificate as a duly qualified Teacher, will be accepted in lieu of an examination; but special
arrangements will.be made for the examination of candidates not possessing such certificates.

In addition to the above qualifications the candidate must produce satisfactory certificates
of sound bodily health from a duly qualified medical practitioner, and a certificate of good
moral character from a clergyman of the denomination to wliieh the candidate belongs.

He must also enter into an agreement (with the consent of his parents and guardians)
that he will complete the term of one year, and during that period submit to the rules, and
give his whole time to the duties and studies of the Institution.

H. McCandless,

Frincipal.
Guelph, Ont. 26th March, 1874.

From the 1st of May until the 1st of June, some thirty pupils had assembled, and it
was hoped, that after many drawbacks, the School of Agriculture was fairly launched upon an
useful career. But unforeseen difficulties arose with the Principal, ending in his resignation
being accepted, it having been found during the short period of his office, that he lacked the
tact, method and administrative capacity necessary for the domestic and out-door management
of the Institution, and the moral character and firmness necessary in order to gain the respect
and obedience of the pupils.

After the removal of Mr. McCandless, and pending the appointment of a new Principal,
the school and farm have been admirably conducted and managed by Wm. Johnston, Esq.
B. A., who succeeded Mr. Clarke as the Rector of the Institution, the latter gentleman having
found it necessary to resign in consequence of differences of opinion between himself and the
late Principal.

The several departments of the Institution are now in fair working order; much has been
done to get the fields into good tillage, to eradicate weeds, and to clear the land of stone.
Some drains have been laid, some fencing repaired, many necessary alterations and additions
made to the buildings, the nucleus of improved stock obtained, and plans for the future devel-
oped and matured. In the school the pupils have had daily lectures from Mr. Johnston on
Practical Agriculture, and the Rudiments of Chemistry as applied to Agriculture ; in the
field they have been shown the practical application of that which they had studied in the
class room ; and in the workshops they have learned the use of tools, and the construction of
implements. With the results of the past three months' experience, the Government has
occasion to feel abundantly satisfied, and as an augury of the future success of the Institution
under competent management, may point towards the present condition of the Institution. It
is only a fitting tribute to the young men who are pupils in the School of Agriculture to say
that the circumstances under which they were placed, justify the condonation of any breach
of discipline some of them may have committed in the early part of the session, and that their
present conduct shows that their faults in the past have been more owing to errors of
management than to any wilful misbehaviour on their part.

Sir, — Being informed that the Ontario Agricultural College will soon be opened, I
respectfully beg to know if your Department will require the services of a Professor of
Agriculture in connection with that Institution. I seek this information with the view of
tendering my servijes in that capacity.

It is unnecessary that I should here enter into any statement of my experience in
Agricultural education farther than to say that, as a pupil or as a Professor, I have been
connected with it for nearly twenty years. I am a British subject, of Scotch parentage ;
was educated at the Albert Agricultural Training Institution, Glasnevin ; was subsequently
in charge uf the farm attached to that Institution ; and more recently Lecturer on Agricul-
ture at and Manager of the Kilkenny Model Farm, under the Commissioners of Irish educa-
tion. For the past two years I have filled the Chair of Agriculture in this University ; and
my only reason for aesiring to change my position is, that I prefer British rule.

If the vacancy to which I refer exists, and a reasonable salary is attached to the office,
I shall be glad to place my testimonials in your hands.

I am, Sir,

Your obedient Servant,

Dear Sir, — I am instructed by the Hon. Mr. McKellar to acknowledge receipt of your
letter of the 31st ultimo, soliciting information as to the appointment of a Professor of Agri-
culture in the Agricultural College; and to state, in reply thereto, that the Gove.nment are
aijout to advertise for a Principal for the College, both in Canada and Great Britain, imd
shall be most happy to receive your application, together with copies of testimonials, &c.
It is thought advisable for you to send copies only, in case the originals, if sent, might be
lost. I am also instructed to state, that, if you could make it convenient to come to Toronto
during the vacation, Mr. McKellar would be very glad to confer with you upon the subject,
and show you the College, Farm, Ground, &c.

I have the honour to be. Sir,

Sir, — I expected to be able to go to Canada this week, but circumstances have arisen
that render my presence necessary for this and part of the ensuing week. I hope to call
upon you before the close of this month. Meantime I send you herewith copies of some of
my testimonials, which will enable you to trace my career in cunnection with agricultural
education from the year 1854 up to the time of my appointment here. I leave these testi-

4

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 23.) A. 1874

monials to speak for themselves andfo r me. I shall merely direct your special attention to
the one numbered XXII.

I send you none from this Institution, as I do not wish to weaken my position here by
asking for them until I know the probability of my being appointed to the Ontario College,
and whether or not I could accept the position if appointed.

When I was first in correspondence with the authorities of this University, I invited
their private reference to the Irish Board of National Education, and, as it may save you
some trouble, I enclose the reply the Vice-President of the University received from the
Irish Commissioners.

The certificate and letter referred to in that communication you will find copied in the
accompanying newspaper (which please preserve).

Any action that you may take upon the inclosed testimonials may be based upon the
assurance that my letters from, and my references to, this University will be perfectly satis-
factory, and that if I leave it, I do so, not only at my own request, but against the wishes of
the Trustees.

I owe it to them, however, that they should receive the earliest possible intimation of
my intention to resign, and on this account would feel obliged by your stating your opinion
of the probability of my appointment, and by your giving me such particulars as to the
salary, duties, &c., as you may feel at liberty to communicate. I have been too well treated
in this University to leave it at short notice, and thus leave them to open the ensuing Col-
legiate year without a Professor of Agriculture.

I lecture here five times a week, and I have laid down a programme for the working of
my department, and have planned the experimental farm and farm barn to the entire satis-
faction of the Trustees. I have made myself well acquainted with American farming both
in this State and in Ohio.

Mem. — In the matter of the purchase from Mr. Stone of property for Model farm.

Mr. (juthrie, attended with Mr. McKellar, waited on Mr. Stone, and required possession
of the buildings.

The title was then beino- investigated, and it was likely to take some time to clear it up.
Ml-. Stone refused to give possession, Mr. Guthrie offered, on behalf of the Government,
that if the title was rejected, the Government would pay an occupation rent for the
buil ding.

Mr. Stone refused to give possession in any way or shape, or on any terms whatever, un-
til he received purchase-money.

Mr. McKellar made every exertion to secure possession, but failed.

In consequence of letter from Mr. McKellar, of 6th August, Mr. Cutten, on 8th, waited
on Mr. Stone, and demanded possession of the building. He refused. See letter of 8th,

the neighbourhood of Guelph ; and as I am comparatively a stranger to you, I would submit
a few of the qualifications I possess for such a position.

1 may state that I have received a thorough training as a practical farmer under some of
the best agriculturists of this county, and have for several years had the sole charge of one of
the best farms in this section of country.

I may also state that I have taken a great deal of interest in the breeding and care of
improved stock, having devoted special attention to the various breeds of cattle and sheep,
now popular with advanced agriculturists.

I have also taken a special interest in the many improvements made in our labour-saving
farm implements, and have carefully studied their mechanism and management.

Should I be favoured with a situation in connection with our new Institution, I assure
you that I will use my best endeavours to m:ike it a credit to our young and rising country.

Toronto, Nov. ,5th, 1873.

My dear Professor, — I received your telegram on Saturday, from which I was much
pleased to learn that you had arrived safely at Guelph again. Miss McCandless called on
her arrival at Toronto, but I saw nothing more of her. I presume that she and Mrs. McCand-
less are now with you at Guelph, and anxious to be settled at the College. It will be neces-
sary for you to purchase furniture. You had therefore better make your purchases from
the firm from whom Mrs. Mercer, under Mr. Gow's instruction, purchased her furniture. Let
it be plain and substantial, such as to correspond with the building, but not extravagantly ex-
pensive— you know what I mean. I shall therefore trust to your own good judgment to make
a selection of such furniture as will be suitable and not extravagantly expensive When you
have made the purchase get the account, including the furniture already purchased, certify
to it, and send it to me that I may have it paid.

I was at Guelph the other day after you left, and arranged with Mrs. Mercer that she is
to occupy the room on the lower flat, which she at present occupies, and two of the bed-
rooms at the head of the stairs ; the lower room she will use as a parlour and dining-room for
herself. The bed-rooms are small ; the one she will occupy herself, and the other for her
younger daughter, who is to remain with her ; her eldest daughter goes in a few days to
Ottawa, to spend the winter with her relations there. This accommodation, allowed to the
matron, is much less than that given in any other of the Institutions, but for the present she
is quite willing to do with the rooms referred to. If we can tide over till winter we shall
have no difficulty in the future, for I shall have a sufficient number of dormitories prepared
before next fall. I shall shortly have a set of By-laws prepared and sent to you, defining the
duties of all the officers of the Institution, and hope your Institution will run as smoothly
as all the others, except one, and that one, I believe, can only be perfected by removing the
Principal — that is an unpleasant thing to do, but no maa must stand in the way of effioiency
in any of our Institutions so long as I have anything to do with them.

You will require a man immediately to make fires, chop wood and do sundry things
about the house. The cook is a married woman, and is anxious to have her husband employed
— will you engage and try him 1 He is an old soldier, and if steady, as I believe him to be,

7

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 23.) A. 1874

would be the very best man you could have, for everything will be done in order, and be-
sides, one bed-room would do them both. Let me hear how the work is progressing. I fear
it will not be forward enough to do much this winter.

Your's truly,

Toronto, 8th December, 1873.

My "Dear Sir, — I telegraphed to you at New York as you desired. The best method
of putting the whole matter on a satisfactory footing seems to me to be to issue at once the
Commission which I spoke about, I am, therefore, preparing a Commission to consider and
report upon all matters in relation to the Model Farm and the Agricultural Institute — I
mean all matters which are necessary to be considered and decided upon at the start — after
that the establishment must be governed pretty nearly as you may think best. In selecting
the names of Commissioners, we have thought it right to choose persons whose names would,
in a matter of this kind, carry the greatest weight -with the public of all parties. We have,
therefore, confined the Commissioners to parties residing in Ontario, and well known to the
people. We have not included in the Commission your name or- Mr. Clarke's, but you are to
have opportunity of stating and advocating the views which you have formed as to the basis
on which we should proceed.

I may observe that your views as to the mode of choosing the Board to conduct the
Institute, or assist in the conduct of it, would not suit. I think that it would be expedient
to commence operations with a much more limited staff than even you suggest, though we
are to look forward to a much larger staff at an early date.

I would merely add, that in no branch of Canadian farming could the Model Farm be

not a source of revenue, at least self-sustaining.

At a special meeting of the Directors of the " Dairymen's Association of Ontario," held
at the Town of Ingersoll, in the County of Oxford, on the twentieth day of December, instant,
it was moved by Peter J. Brown, seconded by Charles E. Chadwick, and resolved : —

" That whereas, having noticed in the public prints, that the Government of Ontario had
or were to appoint a Commission to enquire into the working of the Model Farm for Ontario,
and whereas, from the names mentioned as parties likely to compose such Commission, it
appears that the dairy interests had been overlooked, and the Directors of this Association
feel that no branch of Canadian Husbandry in Ontario is of greater importance, or could be
made more serviceable than the dairy interests, which fact was unanimously recognised by
the Association at its annual meeting in 1870, by the adoption of the following resolution,
viz. : —

"Moved by C. E. Chadwick, seconded by Thomas Ballantyne, and Resolved —

" That in view of the establishment of a Model Farm by the Legislature of Ontario,
the President and Secretary be empowered to memorialize the Government of Ontario, urging
the establishment of the same, and that in connection therewith, due provision be made for
giving proper instruction in dairy matters, whereby this very important and rapidly growing
branch of Canadian Agriculture may receive that attention its importance deserves.

"Be it therefore resolved that the president is hereby instructed to submit a copy of
this Resolution at once to the Ontario Government, and urge upon them the importance of
recognising upon said Commission the dairy interest.

" And at said meeting it was further moved by J. M. Wilson, and seconded by P. J.
Brown, and Resolved : —

" That this Association would suggest to the Government the propriety of constituting
the president thereof an ex-offido member of such Commission."

In the matter of school furniture for the .Agricultural College, the Commissioner in-
structs me to say that you had better advertise in the Guelph papers, in your own name, for
such furniture as you require, and have samples sent in with tender, or have a sample for
parties to see at the Institution, before sending in their tenders.

If you have not already seen the specimens of school furniture at the Educational De-

Hon. 0. MowAT, Guelph, January 20th, 1874.

Attorney-General, Ontario,

Sin, — Circumstances of a private nature rendering it necessary that I should resign my
position as Matron of the Agricultural College, I shall feel much obliged if you will relieve me
from my duties at the close of the present month.

I am. Sir,

Your obedient servant,
(Signed,) C. M. Mercer.

Professor McCandless Ohservalions on the Be^wrt of the Provincial Farm Commission.

The leading feature of this Eeport appears to me to be such as, if carried out, would lay
the foundation of a very excellent institution.

There are, however, some minor details to which I would respectfully beg to call the
attention of the Government. In doing so I shall notice them in the order in which they
appear in the Report.

The second proposition appears to me to limit the scope of the institution to the educa-
tion of students fr07n the Province. I would suggest that this should be so altered as to
afford students from all parts of the empire, and even those from other countries, the privilege
of acquiring an education in Canadian agriculture, but on the condition that those not belong-
ing to the Province should pay for board, &c.

I expect that one of the great advantages the institution will confer upon the Province will
be to afford young men from the mother country the opportunity of becoming acquainted
with Canadian farming before entering upon that business in this country, and I have several
applications of that nature already.

The ninth proposition provides for the erection of a building 240 feet long by 30 feet
wide. This will, I fear, present an unsightly appearance, and will be expensive, not only in con-
struction, but in the heating, in proportion to the accommodation it will afford.

If it is intended that students should sleep, wash and dress in these rooms ; it will give rise
to much expense in cleaning and supplying them with water. It would also give rise to
expense in the breakage of bedroom ware, &c.

It also involves the right of the student to enter his room during the day, and implies
his right to remain in it when unwell. For reasons pointed out in my previous report I con-
sider these are objectionable privileges, and if granted must involve considerable expense in
supervision as well as attendance.

The system of giving these advantaues to students is desirable mainly on the grounds
that it affords them an opportunity of retiring for private study. If, however, the provisions
of propositions 24, .35, 36 and 37 are to be enforced, there will be no occasion for this, as, by
the provisions of these propositions, the student will have 7 hours field work and 6 hours under
instruction in class room, making altogether 13 hours ; if we now allow 2^ hours for meals we
have but 8^ hours for sleep, recreation and devotional exercise, and therefore there would be
no time for private study.

For these reasons, as well as for those pointed out in my previous report, I would recom-
mend that the system of large dormitories for sleeping only, and a common lavatory for wash-
ing and changing clothes, with a sick ward for invalids, should be reconsidered.

In proposition seventeen I find a principle that all my previous experience goes to
condemn. It provides for admission from month to month ; a moment's consideration will
show that no systematic course of instruction could be maintained if such a mode of admis-

10

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 23.) A. 1874

sion is adopted ; it would give rise to as many different classes as there would be admissions,
or if not, the student entering in the middle of a term would reap but little if any benefit
from the instruction during the remainder of that term. As agricultural instruction is of a
peculiar and special nature, it is not to be presumed that those entering late in the term
could be acquainted by instruction received elsewhere with the studies in the earlier part of
the term. I would therefore strongly urge the alteration of this propositi(^, and would
recommend instead that students be admitted only twice a year.

The 18th proposition, together with the 19th and 20th, seems to exclude the teaching
of any of the branches usually included under the head of an English education. No one
can be more averse to any arrangement that would tend to turn the Institution into a literary
school than T am, but it appears to me that the total exclusion of such subjects as mensura-
tion, levelling, commercial arithmetic, natural philosophy, general book-keeping, and English
composition, is a mistake. The standard of proficiency laid down for admission is not suflSci-
ently high to constitute the English education of an intelligent farmer, or make our students
as useful men to the country as they should be, after enjoying the technical education pro-
posed. It may be urged that the directors of the several departments should furnish this
instruction, but there are several objections to this course.

In the first i)lace, a year is a very limited period in which to convey a thorough know-
ledge of the practice, and application to practice, of the cognate sciences in any of the three
departments.

In the second place, many of these branches are common to the three departments.
Thus, for instance, chemistry, mensuration and botany are common to all ; hence, if as pro-
posed in propositions 3-5, .36 and 37, the three directors of these departments all undertake
to teach these several branches, a conflict of opinion may arise, or even if this does not arise,
each would be going over the same ground. But this is not all, a man may thoroughly un-
derstand the principles of the art he practises and their application to practice, and yet be
but an inferior teacher of the sciences upon which these principles are based ; nor can such
subjects be successfully taught without a dexterity in the manipulation of experiments that
practical men cannot be expected to possess; and this fact too frequently gives rise to the
selection of men for such positions who are not sufficiently practical, which is the worst error
that could be committed.

It is just possible that suitable men for these combined positions may be obtained, who
could divide the teaching of these sciences between them, but from my experience in such
matters I would say that the instruction of the student would be much more efficiently per-
formed if an officer capable of teaching such subjects as English composition, mensuration,
rudiments of chemistry, mechanics, hydrostatics, pneumatics, &c., was appointed. For fur-
ther argument in favour of these views, I would refer to my previous report already read
before the Commission.

Proposition 23 seems to indicate that skilled or paid labourers should be only ocmmnaUy
employed. This is an unprofitable and, indeed, an impracticable course. Paid labourers
must be constantly emploijcd to work the teams and attend to stock.

If this is not done, and students only work seven hours daily, then the teams must
necessarily be idle, at least three working hours every day, and stock can only be fed within
the seven hours, otherwise, one portion of the class must be at work and the other at study,
and if so, how can the officer of any particular department give instructions both in field and
class-room at the same time ? Resides, a skilled workman for every team is necessary for
educational purposes, for to him the students must turn for instruction in ploughing, &c.
From this it is evident that hired labour must be employed to the extent of one man for
each team. •

After the first year, such students as remain a second for further practice, could, to a
certain extent, be employed for such purposes.

Proposition 2.0 implies the principle of admission I have already referred to in my obser-
vations on proposition 17. It seems designed to guard against the danger of the farm work
being interfered with by a complete change of staff, but this cannot take place so long as
admissions are made twice a year, as one-half the old class is always sufficiently initiated to
train the new to the work and liiscipiincof the place.

Proposition 28 introduces an arrangement that will prove very expensive if not imprac-
ticable. If we have, say, a hundred students, a full set of farm and garden implements for

11

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (JNo. 23.) A. 1874

each will cost quite a sum of money, and even if the expense is not objected to, it will be
necessary to provide each pupil with a separate lock-up for his tools, otherwise, one boy will
often be tempted to use the implement belonging to another, so that constant complaint will
be the result if the act is discovered by the student whose tools have been interfered with •
and if it is not discovered by the' owner of the tools the borrower will be too likely to evade
the trouble»f returning them to their proper place. Even when lock-ups are provided, students
are subject to lose their keys, and this again gives rise to trouble.

I have had much experience in this particular matter, and would recommend that the
management of this and similar details should be entrusted to the officers of the Institution.

Regarding the thirtieth proposition, the custom of the Province, in other educational in-
stitutions, is, perhaps, the best mode. I shall merely point out the fact that Roman Catholics
are likely to take exception to it, as it virtually implies that the officer, who will conduct these
devotional exercises, must be a Protestant.

The majority of the students will, no doubt, belong to one or other of the Protestant de-
nominations. Now, if a Roman Catholic was appointed, it would exclude the majority. At
the Glasnevin Institution private devotional exercises were substituted for collective, and a
short grace said before and after each meal.

Proposition thirty-four — -I would suggest, in reference to the advisory Committee, that
they should be gentlemen residing in the vicinity of Guelph.

On proposition thirty-five, I shall merely point out the fact that there is too much work
laid out for the Principal. No man can deliver an intelligent lecture, of one hour's duration,
with less than two hours' preparation.

On this basis the work here laid down would stand as follows : —

Lecturing 2 hours

Preparation 4 "

Field 7

Meals 3 "

Total 16

This, too, is exclusive of general supervision of the place, and of correspondence and
other business that must, under any circumstances, devolve upon the Principal ; no man
could conscientiously undertake such work, having the interests of himself and students in
view.

The same remark, but not with equal force, applies to the provisions of propositions
thirty-six and thirty-seven. Independent of the ability of the officers to perform the
work, it is more than the students could undertake. It would leave them no time for private
study or reading.

In reference to proposition thirty-seven, I would merely suggest that a Live-stock
Manager would seem to me to be more appropriate than Live-stock Director.

Proposition forty provides for the appointment of a Veterinary Surgeon. As the duties
of this officer are here limited to imparting such information as will enable the student to ap-
ply the proper remedies until a veterinarian can be called in, I would suggest that so much
might be imparted by the Live-stock Manager, and thus save expense.

But 1 would strongly urge that the Veterinary College should be merged in this Institu-
tion, as suggested in this proposition.

Proposition forty-two provides for the appointment of an officer under the title of Rector.
It appears to me that this title, although used in Scotland, will not be well understood here,
and I would jmggest that it be changed to either Steward, Bursar, Book-keeper, or Pay
Clerk.

I cannot close these observations without pointing out the fact, that in practice there
may be much difficulty in conducting, separately, two departments so intimately connected as
the stock and forming departments. All inconveniences and losses in the former are likely to
be laid to the charge of the latter ; however, as it is desirable on many grounds, it is worthy ( f
trial.

I would also suggest that, with a view to popularize the Institution, one of its objects
should be to raise and send to different points of the Province, bulls and other sires of a supe-

12

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 23.) A. 1874

rior breed, the service of which should be let to the farmers at moderate fi2;ures. I believe
such an arrangement would not only popularize the Institution, but add immensely to the
wealth and prosperity of the country,'

I would further suggest that the Commission should fix the date of opening the Institu-
tion.

Dear Sir,— After having carefully perused the testimonials of the several candidates
who, in response to advertisement and otherwise, presented themselves for the respective posi-

my opinion Mr. James McNair, of Richmond Hill, York County, is the most eligible candi-
date for the former position, and Mr. Engleliardt, of Belleville, for the latter.

Mr. Englehardt was not fully aware of the duties of the position, or of the salary attached
to it, when he applied, and it is possible he may not be disposed to accept it, in which event I
would recommend Mr. Thomas Farn ham, of Toronto, as the candidate who is, in my opinion,

Dear Sir, — I saw Mr. McCandless on Wednesday, when he informed me that he had
now twenty-six applicants for the School, and he thinks we will have our full complement.
In view of this prospect I have made up my mind to recommend to my colleagues your ap-
pointment as Rector. Your duties will be those set forth in the Keport of the Commission-
ers as the duties of tlie Kector, together with such other duties as may from time to time be
assigned to you in furtherance of the objects of the Institution.

The Commissioners recommended that the Rector should be unmarried. In order to
accomplish the objects which that communication contemplated, it is to be understood that
you are to reside in the Institution without your family, and you will be expected to devote
all your time and attention to the duties of the office. All the appointments, except that of
the Principal, are to be for one year only, and are to be subject to termination within that
time in case satisfaction is not given. Your salary will be one thousand dollars and board.

the source from which he received the appointment, and I must say that this appears to me
to be reasonable. He fears that his removal from the position he has occupied up to the
present time may give rise to unpleasant remarks, and is anxious to have an official letter,

Dear Sir, — It has been thought best that our arrangements on the Agricultural Farm
should correspond as closely as possible with what was recommended by the Commissioners

recommends that the keeping of the books and the Treasurership shall belong to the Rector,

will in the meantime perform such other duties as the Principal may, from time to time,

time of writing 21, and expect the full number to-night or to-morrow. I have arranged that
for the present Mr. Stirton will take charge of the stock, fences, works and supply of fire-
wood, also the watercourses, and be accountable for trespass. I would also suggest that he
should be my assistant in keeping the farm accounts, and in making purchases of seeds,
manures, implements, &c. Mr. Clarke clearly has no experience in these matters, and even
if he had, it seems to me very absurd, and indeed impracticable, that he should be absent
from the institution for such purposes, nor do I believe that the Royal Commission ever con-
templated such an arrangement. All scrip for payment should be made on the treasurer. I
hope to see you iu a few days, when we can more fully discuss the matter. Everything is
going on rather more smoothly than I expected, all we want is money.

I also ask for instructions as to the necessity of sending formal requisition for small im-
plements for farm and garden use. The foremen are daily asking for such supplies, and I
am obliged to order them, but as I am not sufficiently acquainted with the routine of the
Department to know whether I should buy such articles upon my own responsibility or not,
please let me have full instructions in these matters.

I have purchased a pony and phaeton for oiy private use, and out of my private means,
please say whether other men in n:y position are entitled to the keep of a pony or not. If
not, I shall purchase hay, Sec, for it myself.

Also please let me know the exact staff of domestic servants that will be allowed for the

Dear Sip, — The iujurious reports that Mr. Clarke is circuladug through the students
and people of Gueljih, as to the cause of his resignation, are such as to compel me, in self-
defence and in the interests of the institution, to usk you to nominate a responsible person or
two persons, to make strict inquiries into the aiiair, and I trust you will accede to my request
at your very earliest convenience.

Hon. 0. Mowat.

Toronto, 9th June, 1874.

Dear Sir, — Mr. Clarke sent in his resignation, as you told mo he was doing, and this
morning 1 telegraphed to him accepting if.

Apart from the specilic charges you have made in regard to him, I am satisfied that he
and you would not get along comfortably.

Tlie impression I have from the papers tliat yoxx. read to me is that if your object was
to do the best you could with him, your notes to him were not fitted to accomplish that object ■

19

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 23.) A. 1874

but as I know from yourself that they were written under the conviction that he had been trying
to undermine you, the tone of your dealing with the matters to which the notes relate was
not unnatural. He seems to have got the affection of the pupils, since they have presented
him with a Bible as a token of their goodwill, after his very short connection with the
Institution.

I am sorry to know that any of the pupils are desirous of leaving. Is it possible that
in your management of them and of the other employes of the farm you do not make suffi-
cient allowance for the habits, temperament and other peculiarities of our people in this new
country ? I shall feel disappointed if you fail in securing the affection and respect of the
pupils, as well as the principal officers. A prudential regard to this object is as essential to
the prosperity of the Institution as energy and ability. I am sure that you will agree with
me as to this, and will not take amiss a word of counsel upon the subject.

I have received your official letter about Mr. Clarke's card playing, but, as he ceases to
Rector, there will be no object, I presume, in prosecuting any enquiry upon the subject.

The suggestion contained in another letter, to appoint one or two person^ to investigate
the truth of statements which you say Mr. Clarke is making, I am not able to act upon
immediately, and may or may not act upon hereafter. Such enquiries, unless made privately,
ought only to be entered upon where the matter is very grave. Your successful management
of the farm and your success with the students will be the best answer to all charges, if any
are made. I have written to the Hon. David Christie, asking him to pay a friendly visit to
the Institution as some unpleasantness had occurred, but instructing him that no formal
enquiry in reference to the matter was to be entered upon. If he complies with my request,
be good enough to afford him every facility.

Yours truly,
Prof. McCandless, Guelph. 0. Mowat.

P.S. — Since the above was written I have received your letter of 8th inst. I have not
seen or heard anything of the newspaper or files to which you refer. I wish you could en-
close them to me. A newspaper controversy would be unfortunate.

Dear Sir, — I enclose Messrs. Burr & Skinner's tender for bureaus. In doing so I
beg to remind you that large expenditures have already been made in agricultural implements
and household furniture, that are not yet paid, owing to the delay in sending forward the
amounts due, and the promised visit of xMr. Scoble not having been made to start the books.

My fears are that expenses will be considerably over appropriations, and some steps should
be taken to provide extra funds, if these extra and unexpected expenses are to be incurred.
There will al-^o be considerable expense yet for harvest and haying implements, as well as for
farm yard implements and fixtures for winter use.

days for the purpose of giving his counsel and aid in making matters run smoothly. Let him
have a room in the House, and do what you can to make his stay useful, and agreeable to him-
self.

I hope that you are doing your very Ijest to create a cordial feeling on the part of the
pupils and officers. If this feeling cannot be brouglit about without further delay, and main-
tained afterwards, I fear that the Institution will be a failure. I rely on your prudence for
preventing such a result, without sacrificing other objects which must be kept in view.

The Commissioners appointed by His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor in Council,

Farm, recommended that there should be an Honorary Council consisting of eight members
appointed by the Lieutenant-Governor, and the Commissioner of Asriculture as President,

that such By-laws should be approved by the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, before going
into operation, and that there should be an advisory Committee of such Council composed
of three members whose advice the Principal of the Agricultural School should seek when
matters of adequate importance render it expedient, and that the said Council should have
defrayed from the Funds of Institution, their actual travelling and hotel expenses when at-
tending meetings. To give full effect to the recommendations of the Report, legislation
would probably be necessary, and it is in the opinion of the undersigned expedient in the
mean time that a Commission be issued appointiniz; five competent persons to prepare for the
consideration of His Excellency the Lieutenant-Governor in Council, such By-laws from time
to time as may be necessary for the internal organization and government of the Institution,
until legislation on the subject takes place, and to advise from time to time with regard to
any matters which such Commissioners shall deem necessary in the interest of the Institution
or which they shall be requested by His Excellency in Council, or by the Commissioner of
Agriculture, to consider and advise upon,

The undersigned recommends that the following persons be appointed to be such Com-
missioners, viz. : — -The Honourable David Christie. Honourable George Brown. James Youne,
Esquire, M.P., George Buckland, Esquire, Delos W. Beadle, Jlsquire, and the undersigned
recommends that the actual travelling and hotel expenses of the Commissioners in attending
meetings be paid.

Premier.

Dear Sir, — We, the undersigned pupils of this College think that it is our duty to
inform you that Ave do not feel ourselves bound (by the indenture that we signed on entering
this Institution) to stay until the year has expired, under the present head, namely, Principal
McCandless.

We are all anxious to receive such instruction pertaining to agriculture as may be given
by any teacher, but it is utterly impossible for us to receive such instruction from a man so

21

regardless of truth and so incapable of performing the duties assigned to him at this Institu-
tion.

"We have been anxiously looking for a change and have detained sending you this peti-
tion thinking that some alteration Tvould be made after your investigation. Should no change
be promised before this day week, we will feel it our duty to our parents or guardians, our
country and ourselves, to leave.

We are, sir,

The following was meant as a private note, but as Mr. McCandless has published a long
reply to it, this letter is produced : —

Toronto, 10th July, 1874.

My Dear Professor, — I am afraid it will be absolutely necessary for me to accept,
without further delay, your resignation of your office in the School and Farm, and I would
like that this .should be done in such a wa}- as may be most acceptable t(5 yourself. It is not
necessary for me to form an opinion on any of the reasons which have been given for the un-
popularity that somehow you have obtained amongst us, for I am constrained to admit that
that unpopularity itself prevents the possibility of the Institution being a success. Your ex-
perience elsewhere appears to have been of less service in giving confidence to your manage-
ment of the Institution than you and we alike had reason to hope. I hope that in parting with
us thus abruptly you will not think it necessary to take any course which may serve to dam-
age the Institution, in which I know that you have been taking great interest. Between you
and myself hitherto, there has been the utmost possible good feeling, and I shall be sorry if
that good feeling should now be interrupted.

We shall have to make temporary arrangements for partially filling your place. We do
not contemplate making any immediate appointment of a new Principal.

I have had .several letters from you within the last few days, which, in view of your
connection with the Institution being discontinued, it is not necessary for me to refer to in
detail.

Yours truly,

Sir, — Finding that my views, on matters connected with the working of this institution,
do not harmonize with tho.se of the Government, or with those of the majority of the subor-
dinate officers, and, believing with you, that harmony is indispensable to the welfare of the
School. I hereby respectfully beg to tender you my formal resignation of the principalship.

I have the honour to be. Sir,
Your most obedient servant,

Dear Sir, — I received a letter from my father, stating that it is his desire I should
discontinue my instructions at, this institution, because when he came up with me things
were represented to him in a diiferent light from what they have turned out to be. It is
also my desire to leave as I came with the supposition that I was going to receive theoretical
and practical information in regard to farming, neither of which I have I'eceived but vtrij
little. Will you please sanction my father's request, and by so doing you will much oblige.

I hope ever to remain

Yours, &c.,

P.S. — There are severt^l other reasons which my father has for me quitting the Institu-
tion which is unnecessary for me to mention.

Dear Sir, — I have received a letter from my father wishing me to leave this institu-

other reasons, which need not be mentioned. If it is in your power, will you please o-rant
my request, and oblige.

Oopy of an Order in Council approved hy His Excellency tlie Lietitenant-Governoi',

Young, Esquire, M.P., George Buckland, Esquire, and Delos W. Beadle, Esquire, be ap-
pointed to be Commissioners to prepare for the consideration of His Excellency the Lieu-
tenant-Governor in Council, such By-laws from time to time as may be necessary for the in-
ternal organization and Government of the School of Agriculture, at Guelph, until legis-
lation on the subject takes place, and to advise from time to time with regard to any matters
which such Commissioners shall deem necessary in the interest of the Institution or which
they shall be requested by Your Excellency in Council, or by the Commissioner of A"ricul-

And the Committee recommend that the actual travelling and hotel expenses of the said
Commissioners in attending meetings be paid.

Clerk Executive Cnuacll, Ontario.

Guelph, 25th July, 1874.
Hon. 0. Mowat.

Sir, — I have the honour the acknowledge the receipt of your telegram of yester day
date, informing me that my resignation has been accepted. In desiring that resignation,
am satisfied that you did what you believed to be for the interests of the Institution, and
while I diflFer with you in the belief that that course is the one best calculated to insure the
welfare of the School, I, at the same time, sincerely hope that its future welfare may be a
prosperous one.

In differing with those with whom it became my duty to act, I have been actuated only
by motives that I believed to be, and still believe to be. identical with the interests of the
Institution, and as 1 have been guilty of no act that can be proved to be otherwise (save as a

23

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers N^o. 23.) A. 1874

matter of opinion.) I trust that the Government will see the justice of awarding me some
compensation for the heavy pecuniary loss I have sustained by my acceptance of the situation
I held here.

In corresponding with the Government in reference to my appointment, I told you
(through 31 r. McKellar,) that if I was not the best man you could select, not to give me the
appointment.

If the Government now think they have made a mistake in that selection, it is unjust
that I should be at a heavy loss by that mistake.

You are aware that I resigned a permanent, situation of equal yearly value in the United
States to come here, and you are in a position to know that 1 did so against the expressed
wish of the authorities of the University in which I was then employed.

It is also within your knowledge that, in leaving the States, I suffered a heavy pecuni-
ary loss in the sale of my property there, to enable me to meet the wishes of the Government
in coming here at the time. I did it, because necessary for me to sell that property during the
money panic last fall ; I did so to a large extent on credit, and never received a dollar of the
price. I enclose you. herewith, the commission agent's letters expressing his inability to meet
his note when due ; I hold other notes equally valueless.

Even had I received the full amount for which my property was sold, it would not have
been two-thirds of its actual value

Since coming here I have also made purchases that I must now sell at considerable loss.
^ Apart from these losses, thereis another very serious consideration involved in this connec-
tion; and thatis, that many of the unscrupulousjouruals with which this Province is unfortunately
inundated, have seen fit to indulge in comments in reference to my resignation, which,
though comparatively harmless in the localities in which the character of these sheets is known,
are highly injurious to ^y reputation elsewhere ; and, as I have reason to believe, that these
so-called newspapers have been specially sent to American Universities, with a view to injure
me, it will take years of toil on my part to reestablish the reputation that I have thus un-
justly lost.

In the interests of the Institution, as well as in self-respect, I have passed unnoticed the
calumnies of low-classed periodicals, which, had they been put forward by respectable jour-
nals, I would and could have answered effectually.

But harmless as such attacks are here, they are calculated to seriously injure my reputa-
tion, when forwarded for that purpose to where the character of the papers making them is
unknown.

Injjview of these and other circumstances connected with my resignation, and with which
you are acquainted, I trust you will see the justice of the claim I advance.

I have the honour to be.
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,

H. McCandless.

Ithaca, N. Y., May 3rd, 1874.

Professor, — Ever since we have been in business we have never failed in a single in-
stance to rncd j)T»mj>lly f?Tr?/ just obligation presented to us ; but for the past four weeks we
have experienced the most unpleasant thoughts regarding the future, restless days and nigl^ts
have we fully realized, for we have a keen sense of right and honour, which we will maintain
through life.

What has caused so much anxiety, is the note which you hold, and which is payable June
1st. If you can find it convenient, and at the same time state to us that you will be indul-
gent, under the circumstances, your kindness will not be forgotten.

Thousands of business men have been ruined, and more taking place daily, owing to
the panic and the unsettled state of the finances ; we, like other business men, used all funds
in our hands for general purposes, and when a demand Wiis made upon us wc would have a
sufiBciency always on hand, but now we cannot, and we find it a matter of impossibility to get
money from any quarter, and we have no small amount due us from honourable and well-
wishing persons.

24

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 23.) A, 1874

If life and death were in the question, and money could settle it, the getting it would
be difficult. We cannot see how we can naeet our note, and, therefore, throw ourselves upon
your kindness and indulgence for a while. We have never yet had a note to be protestedd
and before we will, we would sell the clothing from our backs to meet it.

When we write to you, we know we are dealing with an appreciative gentleman, or else
the general tenor of our letter would be different.

. We have now one pressing demand made upon us, which we will cancel during this
month, and after that we promise faithfully to take your matter in hand, and remit to
you every month — we will pay you full interest, and also pay the charges for remitting the
amounts.

If you only favour us, wc can get all right by the winter, and we hope a favourable
answer from you. You may smile at our anxiety, &c., at experiencing so much from such
a small amount, but were it a thousand times greater, it could not trouble us more.

It is a principle, and the least thing which has a tendency to cause us to deviate, occa-
sions unpleasantness in the extreme. Were we to sink this day, do you think, (although we
would be justifiable,) that you would lose one cent of what is rightfully yours 1 No ; every
dollar should be paid.

It is our nature and disposition, and hence we come to you as the proper one to settle
the matter, and encourage us for the future.

To show how hard are the times, we had to use the law, in one instance, to reclairn the
goods ; which we did, and then sold for a sacrifice, owing to the rough usage.

Hoping to hear from you soon, and wishing you well, &c., we subscribe.

Yours, very respectfully,

(Signed) Lennon & Co.

Prof H. McCandless agreed to take monthly instalments, till 1st December, with in-
terest, but if fully settled before 1st October, to charge no interest.

Ithaca, N. Y., July 7th, 1874.

Professor, — Deeming it best, we have drawn a balance and closed your account. From
the figures you will perceive that we have done well for the times, as your estimate was
about $500.

Business here is almost prostrated, and is heart-sickening. Money seems to be almost
impossible to obtain, and we have a great deal of trouble in making collections. In one case
where you see the check mark $7.80 we expect to lose altogether, unless the party resumes
business again or we can get the carpet back ; we have made enquiries regarding Mr. Burr's
residence, but up to this time have not yet ascertained, we, however, will continue our
enquiries until we get the necessary information, when we will forward it to you. Any
thing we can do for you in Ithaca, (if in our power) we will cheerfully do if you write to-
ns.

Bespectfully, &c.

The undersigned has had under consideration the claim of Mr. McCandless, late Princi-
pal of the Ontario School of Agriculture, to be allowed the expenses of the board and lodging
of himself and family from the date of his removal to Ontario, and the cost of their travelling
expenses from Ithaca, New York, where Mr. McCandless resided at the time of his appointment,
to Guelph.

Mr. McCandless has always contended that he is entitled to be paid these expenses ; this
contention has not hitherto been acquiesed in, but the undersigned in view of what appears
in the correspondence on the subject, and the losses incurred by Mr. McCandless through
his removal to Ontario, and of the short time which he has held the said office, respectfully
recommends that an allowance of .$500 be made to Mr. McCandless in respect of said matters
in full of his said claim.

The underisgned has the honour to report that, from iDformatiou which had reached him
from various sources, he was satisfied that it was not in the interest of the School of Agricul-
ture at Guelph that Mr. JMcCandless should continue to hold the office of Principal of that
Institution, and in consequence of this opinion being intimated to Mr. McCandless, he ten-
dered his resignation.

The undersigned respectfully recommends that under the circumstances a gratuity of
half a year's salary ($1,000) be allowed to Mr .McCandless. *

Toronto, 31st August, 1874.

Sir, — I regret that it was necessary for you to tender, and for me to accept, your resig-
nation, as the first principal of our newly established Agricultural School and Model Farm.

Having parted with you so soon after the opening of the Institution, I am, of course,
unable to add anything from personal knowledge to the favourable testimonials which you
hold from other places, and which speak of your scientific and practical knowledge of English
and Irish farming, and yuur ability as a teacher of agriculture. I have always given you
credit for possessing the qualifications which in these respects were certified to iu your
papers; and the difl&culties that arose in the affairs of the Institution belonged to a sphere of
action which was not embraced in your scientific testimonials, and with which you hud not
before been familiar. But your testimonials, so far as they went, were of so high a character
that it was with very great reluctance tha^ I relinquished the hope that the relations between
yourself and the other members of the Institution (the unfortunate state of which is the occa-
sion of the present step) might, with a little time and patience, be improved : and that your
ultimate success in managing and carrying on our new enterprise, in this, to you, new land,
and in managing and instructing the men and parties connected with the establishment,
would, notwithstanding early drawbacks and discouragements, be as great as your success
appears to have been in discharging the duties of situations which you have held in other
countries.

I understand that you would like me to say something in regard to your honesty, in
consequence, I suppose, of considerable sums of public money having been disbursed through
you. As to this I can speak, and I have pleasure in testifying that your fidelity in money
matters has been free from the .slightest imputations, or (so far as I kuow^ suspicion.

You have my best wishes for your future welfare.

Your obedient servant,

School Department.

1. It is expedient that a curriculum of the course of study and work to be pursued should

be immediately dr^iwn up, and published in a calendar, which should give, beside ex-
tracts from the reports on which the Institution is based, the subjects required for en-
trance, extracts from the by-laws and regulations of the Institution, and all other infor-
mation which might be required by parents or guardians, or desired by entrants ; that
copies of such calendar should be scattered over the length and breadth of Ontario.

2. That in drawing up this curriculum, it should always be remembered that the theoretical

is to be subservient to the practical.

3. That it should include three courses, and be fitted for serving the wants of three classes of

students —

(1.) There should be a three years' course, at the end of which a diploma might be
given, or a degree granted ; and the course pursued should be such that if fair
attention is paid, the student would then have acquired the elements, and laid
the foundation of a thorough knowledge of scientific agriculture.

(2.) A two years' course in which the student would have received the scientific know-
ledge required to understand the rationale of all farm operations — the simpler
operations of tillage — the nature of different soils — the reason for the applica-
tion of particular manures to each — the principles underlying the preparation
of lands for crops — the succes.~ion of crops — a scientific knowledge of cereals
and grasses — the principles underlying the rearing and feeding of animals,
&c., &c.

(3.) A single years course in which the student would assist in the operations of a
Model Farm, and attend the first year's lectures on practical Agriculture.

A. — Suhjeck or Standard of Entrance :

1. For students taking the single year's course, the standard should be the same as now, toge-

ther with proof of having assisted on a farm for at least two summers.

2. For students entering for the second or third year's course, the standard of examination

at entrance should, with the exception of a few subjects, be the same as that required
for the highest divisions of our Public Schools, viz. : —
>^ f (a) Reading, spelling and writing.
-fp I (b) Arithmetic — Through cube root.
o -{ (c) Geography — Canadian and general.
o I (d) History — General Canadian and English.
E-i l^ (e) Grammar — Analysis and parsing of any English author,
(/) Algebra- — As far as end of Simple Equations.
{(j) Geometry —First two books.

B.—Fees:

1. For the entering ou the single year's course, the bonus of $50 may be continued (?) on

recommendation of the Executive Board of the School.

2. For the following those two or three year's course, a tariff for tuition, board and washing,

(fee, should be charged, which charge may be li((uidated by the work of the students,
payment being always by results which can easily be ascertained by records kept of time,
amount, and rate of application. •

0. Hours of Work.

1. For those following the single year's course, an average of seven hours daily, viz. : 5 dur-

ing winter term ; 8 in spring term ; 9 in summer term ; and G in fall term.

2. For those in the second year's course, an average of five hours daily, viz. : 4 hours in

winter term ; 4J in spring ; 7 in summer ; and 4^- in fall term.

3. For those in the third year's course, an average of lour hours daily on the farm and

experimental ground, I or 2 hours daily in the laboratory, and 3 or 4 hours daily in the
lecture room.

29

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 23.) A. 1874

D. Subjects of Study.

A. There should be a two year's course of lectures od practical Agriculture — the first year's
lectures, treatiua- of the best uianuer of performing all farm operations, the best kind of
manures for different soils, the best rotation of crops for the same, the best preparation
of crops for the same, the best manner of rearing and feeding stock, different breeds and
characteristics, farm stead and outbuildings, &c. — always the how.

The second year's course should go uver the same ground, but elementary scientific instruc-
tiun having been received — the rationale of all can be given — the reason why as well as
the manner how — and a few subjects can be now added with profit.

B. Regular Subjects.

(a) 1st year. — Physical Geography and Elements of Geology, Elements of Botany and Zoology,

Chemical Physics and Inorganic Chemistry, Mensuration, Book-keeping and review of
some of the English subjects, Veterinary surgery and practice and Practical Agricul-
ture.

(b) 2nd year. — Botany and Zoology, (applied practically to Phyeiology of plants. Entomology

and comparative Physiology), Organic Chemistry and Elements of Analytical Chemistry,

4. The Rector should take part in the teaching, in order to assist his authority over the

students. When the Institution becomes larger a Bursar should be appointed.

P, S. — The year should be divided into four terms :

(a) The Winter term from 1st January to 1st April

5. Practical work should be done with spirit and despatch — should be as far as possible the

data for lectures in the class-room, and perfect records should be kept of time, particular
amount, and rate of application of each student daily, besides which, at least from half
to one hour daily should be spent in questioning the students on the work of the day.

GuELPH, iN'ov. 4th, 1874.

HoNQUKABLE SiR, — A.t a meeting of the Honorary Commission held here on the 28th
and 2'.ith of October, the following resolution was ordered to be forwarded : —

•' Moved by James Young, Esq., M.P., seconded by James Laidlaw, Esq., and
resolved : — " That the Commissioners call the attention of the Government of Ontario to the
urgent necessity of providing a chief teacher for the School of Agriculture, either by the
appointment of a competent Principal, or in such way as they may deem most expedient."

I have the honor to be, sir,

Your obedient servant,

Wm. Johnston.

Ontario School of Agriculture,

GuELPH, 24th ISTovember, 1874.

Sir, — ] have the honour to transmit herewith my report on the operations of this Insti-
tution.

In accordance with the recommendation of the Commission appointed to report upon its
establishment the School of Agriculture and Model Farm has for the first six months
been utilized more in preparation for the future than in view of immediate results. To use
the language of the Commission, its efforts have been directed, on the one hand, " to prepai-e
the fields and buildings for the systematic instruction of the pupils," and on the other, "to
teach the pupils how to perform farm work in the best manner, and giving them, in the class-
room, the scientific instruction necessary to their thorough understanding of the scientific
facts and principles on which such operations are based."

The report upon these proceedings naturally divides itself into two heads, viz. : —

1st. The Farm in its several departments.

2nd. The School in the field and class-room.

I shall, therefore, treat the subject under these separate headings, and in the sequence I
have indicated.

The Farm.

The Farm consist? of 550 acres, and is partly situated in the Township of Guelph, partly
in the Township of Puslinch, in the County of Wellington, and is distant one and a half miles
from the Town of Guelph.

As the Farm had been used for many years chiefly as a stock farm, all operations being-
made subservient to that end, it was found that, whilst the land was improved in quality by the
operations of stock-raising, no regular rotation of crops had been observed, whilst the intro-
duction of large quantities of fodder, containing the seeds of many weeds, had made the cul-
tivated portion 'exceedingly foul, rendering necessary an immense amount of labour before the
fields could be brought into proper tilth. The drainage also having been entirely in open
ditches, did not admit of sufii.nently early cultivation for the character of the land, so that the
preparation of the soil for the first crop was attended with many ditficulties.

As the former owner of the Farm had never resided on the property, only a small garden
had been prepared, and much labour has been expended in converting arable land into a gar-
den of suitable size for the Institution.

To carry <;ut the various departments as recommended in the report of the Commission,
there wei'C appointed a Principal, a Rector, and a live-stock foreman. A farm foreman, a
gardener, and a carpenter were also engaged.

The Farm Department.

The immediate object of the operations in this depurtmeot having been to adapt a farm
heretofore chiefly used for stock-raising, to the purposes of mixed husbandry, and to provide
for a due rotation of crops, beside cleaning the land that was found foul with weeds, the fol-
lowing dispo.sition was made of the acreage for the attainment of the above ends :

Of the 550 acres, of which the Farm is composed, there are

In Bush and Swamp pasture ■ 63 acres

Of the mode in which these crops were cultivated I cannot speak, and as the greater
portion of the crop is still un threshed I cannot give the results of the season's operations,
so far as the produce of the farm is concerned. 1 may, however, state in general terms that
taking all things into consideration a fair average crop has been secured. The wheat crop
was poor, the barley a medium crop, the oats were good, the peas a half crop, the early pota-
toes a good crop, but the later varieties were much injured by the Colorado beetle and the
drought ; the rape was an excellent crop, the turnips a fair crop — though twice sown — the fodder
crop large and good, but the hay exceedingly light.

The whole of the grain was stored in good condition, and was of good quality, the straw
being all fit for feeding purposes ; the hay was in excellent condition. The roots were also
well secured.

The thirty acres of Summer fallow were broken up from sod, thoroughly ploughed and
cultivated, rind the stones picked off, eight and a half acres underdrained with tile, and the
whole seeded with fall wheat, Treadwell, and Soules. The field was sown in three diflFerent
methods, viz : by hand, with a broad cast sower, and by drill, in order to show the relative
value of each system, the results of which will be recorded.

During the fall months, underdraining has been in progressj,and 1,063 rods of tile have
been laid. iMuch remains to be done under this head.

Live Stock Department.

Prior to the first of June, there had been purchased for this department, and in order to
stock the farm, twelve horses for agricultural purposes, i6 head of heifers and steers as
feeders. 4 milch cows and 1 bull, 93 sheep and lambs and two pigs, a total of 158 head.

With the large area of pasture, had the season been ordinarily moist, such a
stock would have been easily maintained, but the excessive drought rendered it necessary to
supplement the pastures with green fodder grown for soiling purposes, as early as the month
of July. The resources of the farm were thus early drawn upon, and the provision
for winter decreased. In September all the cattle intended for the Christmas market were
housed, and in October all those intended for the Easter market, were also taken in. The
store cattle were brought in during the present mouth, November.

The above stock having, with few exceptions, been bought as feeders, to be disposed of
as soon as it could be done profitably, the first step towards stocking the farm with cattle
and sheep for breeding purposes, was made this fall. To this end there has been purchased
from J. S. Armstrong, Esq. :

1 Durham bull " Cranberry Chief," Herd book, No. 4r37, vol. 3, from the herd of the
Hon. Geo. Brown, Bow Park.

1 Durham cow " Martha," got by " Eleventh Duke of Thorndale."

1 " heifer, " Sally Taylor," got by exp '• Fourteenth ')uke of Airdie,

1 " " "Cambridge Tenth," got by " Imp. King of the Ocean.'"
And from the flock of John Miller, Esq., of Markham, there has been bought

I imported Cotswold ram and 8 ewes, two of these boing imported.

In the stables and cow-houses, floors have been relaid, pavements repaired, doors and
grates rehung, windows put in, feed rooms arranged and provided with suitable appara-
tus for cuttinir, pulping, mincing food, tanks and cisterns have been repaired.

Thanks are due to .John B. Craig, Esq., of Edmonton, for the gift of a thorough-bred
boar pig to the Institution.

Garden.

Two acres of the land on the east side of the main building were tnken into cultivation
for a garden this year, in addition to which, the ground was cultivated between the trees

.32

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 23.) A. 1874

of the upper orchard. The preparation of this ground, partly from sod, and partly from a
roadway which crossed it, involved great labour, without adequate results, this year. The
crop has, however, been a good average.

All the commoner sorts of vegetables were planted, but owing to defective seed a great
deal had to be replanted later in the season. One of the great drawbacks to the commence-
ment of such a place as this is the unreliability of seed ; which it is hoped will be avoided
in the future by growth of the required seeds upon the place.

Few experiments could be made, owing to the state of cultivation throwing obstacles
in the way. The pupils were, however, instructed in propagating, budding, grafting, pruning,
&c., and the general cultivation of vegetable crops explamed to them ; some thirty varieties of
seedling potatoes were planted, and new varieties of mangel wurzel, &c., in order to test their
qualities, the results of which will be hereafter recorded. A few of the commoner varieties
of flowers were grown, and beds were laid out on the front and east sides of the building,
into which a few flowers and shrubs were planted, tending much towards the ornamentation
of the grounds.

The planting of hedges, ornamental trees and shrubs, also formed a part of the instruc-
tion given in the garden ; the grading and gravelling of the carriage drive and walks about
the building, occupied the spare time of the gardener and his class.

The fruit crop was light, apples few and small, pears few, cherries and plums none, and
small fruits very few. Altogether the produce of the three orchards has been barely suffi-
cient for the wants of the Institution.

It is proposed gradually to extend the area of gardening operations, so that another year
will give larger results ; but when the circumstances are taken into consideration, the return
from the garden department may be considered to be satisfactory.

A small hot-house has been erected for the care of plants, and propagation of others for
next year's operations. This is, however, merely a temporary structure, and cannot be re-
garded as more than a makeshift.

Mechanical Department.

The carpenter has been most busily engaged in the construction and repairs of imple-
ments, gates, hurdles, and fences, together with repairs to out-buildings, and the erection
of a carpenter's shop and a waggon shed. In this work the pupils have all assisted in rota-
tion, and at the present time many can use the tools expertly, and few are unable to use
them well. They have gained a practical knowledge as to framing and erecting buildings,
and of the construction of the wooden parts of farming implements, that will be of the
greatest service to them in after life.

During the winter many internal improvements and alterations will be carried out, such
work havinir been purposely left for that season, or postponed in order to efiect other and
more immediately pressing out-door improvements.

Expenditures.

From the annexed statement covering the operations of the last ten and a half months,
it will be seen that the expenditure has been .$22,7J9.47. But this amount includes the cost
of furniture and furnishing, bedding, and internal repairs, properly chargeable to Capital
Account. It also includes the cost of advertising the prospectus of the Institution, and of
furnishing the books and appliances necessary for the office and school room. In the Horti-
cultural Department, it includes the cost of tools. In the Farm Department it includes the
purchase of live stock, implements and tools, and a large amount for feed and fodder that will
probably be wholly unnecessary in other years. It includes, also, repairs and carpenters'
wages, properly chargeable to Capital Account. These accounts deducted from the above
total leave !$10,.')I0..55 as the cost of maintenance, inclusive of salary and wages, and all con-
tingencies necessary for carrying on and improving the Farm.^

It having been decided by the Commission that thirty pupils should be admitted this
year, to assist in the preparation of the farm, and to take an introductory couise of lectures in
the School department, this number of pupils was received during the month of May. On
the first of Jurie there were 31 pupils in residence ; at the present time there are 28 on the
roll and in daily attendance. Many ajplications for admission have been received during the
last two months, but it has been considered advisable thi.t no farther should be made until
next season's operations commence. In the admissions of pupils this year it was on expressed

34

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers .^o. 23.) A. 1874

condition that they should assist in the preparatory operations above stated, working on an
average not more than seven hours daily and receiving such instructions in the class room as
might enable them to understand the rationak. of farming operations. In the absence of any
specific instructions on this head I laid down for the first year's work such subjects as would
form a part in any curriculum for the technical education of students in the science of Agricul-
ture, and arranged the daily distribution of the pupils to the various departments in such a
manner that each might equally as far as possible become skilled in the art of Agriculture.
Lectures on Botany, and Practical Agriculture have been delivered during the last two
months, and oral and written examinations made periodically as to past work.

In order to carry out, as far as practicable, the recommendations of the Commission that
the head of each department should lecture on subjects pertaining to his department ; a sys-
tematic course of questions were given to the pupils, to which written answers were required.
To give these answers the pupils had recourse to the practical information of the head of each
department, iind much valuable information was imparted in this way.

The following table, shewing the daily routine and regulations, will give an idea as to the
distribution of time.

5.30 A.M., Rising Bell.

6.00 " Prayers.

6. .30 " Breakfast.

7.00 " Farm Bell for work.
12.00 " Farm Bell rings to cease work.
12.30 P.M., Dinner.

1.30 " Farm Bell for work.

2.45 " Farm Bell for Class Boom.

.5.10 " Tea bell rings.

7.30 " Class Bell rings for H hours study.

9.00 " Prayers.

9.30 " Lights out.

Regulations.
Students are required —

1. To render cheerful and willing obedience to orders.

2. To conduct themselves in a gentlemanly and ordei'ly manner at all times.

3. To avoid all noisy or boisterous conduct in or about the building.

4. To observe neatness in dress at prayers, meals and recitations, and tidiness in their
rooms.

5. To observe the regulations, regarding wash room, dressing and sleeping rooms.
The followino: are absolutely forbidden.

1. Profane swearing, improper language, and gambling.

2. Use of intoxicating liquors or fire arms.

3. Use of tobacco while on duty in or about the Buildings, Barns or Out-buildings, or
in any place except tbe smoking room.

4. Entering the domestic or sleeping apartments without permission.

5. Absence without leave.

The school is conducted on the same plan as other schools, oral examinations are held
daily on the lectures of the previous day, and written examinations monthly on the work of
the month. Records are kept of attendance at prayers, at roll call for work in the morning,
and at lectures, for absence, fines are impo.sed, and for breach of rules, or serious neglect of
regulations marks are given, twelve of which render the offender liable to expulsion.

It is satisfactory that since my appointment as Rector there has been no need to have re-
course to expulsion, though three students have been suspended for a week, in each case.

Domestic Arrangements.

The House, although large and commodious, not having been built for the purpose of a
College, is in many ways inconvenient.

35

3^ Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 23.) A. 1874

After the rooms of the Principal, the kitchen offices and servants' apartments, the dining
and lecture rooms are provided for, there is only sleeping accommodation for 22 pupils, the
remaining number having to sleep in a house on the farm some 200 yards distant. It is re-
commended that an addition be made to the House of such an extent as to enable the accom-
modation of all the pupils within its walls.

The wash room and shoe room are also much too small for their respective purposes, and
in any extension fresh accommodation should be provided.

The heating apparatus requires improvement.

The domestic services of the Institution have been efficiently and economically carried
out under the superintendence of an able Housekeeper, whose fidelity to her charge has been
maintained under many difficulties.

As the various improvements and alterations necessary in the buildings and out-build-
ings, together with the scheme for next year's operations will, doubtless, be reported upon by
the Commission appointed by Government for the regulation of the affairs of the Institution,
I shall refrain from any further comments upon these matters, save to express the hope that
they may be undertaken in such time as to enable the benefits they will confer upon the In-
stitution to be felt before the conclusion of another season. But, as in the absence of a Prin-
cipal, I have been charged with the organization and management of the School Department,
I may be permitted to record the results of last three months' observations under this head.

It is, in my humble judgment, absolutely necessary that if the Institution is to live and
serve the purposes for which it was created, it must receive hearty and liberal support.

Before the farm can be a model farm, extensive improvements have to be made, and be-
fore the Institution can properly be called a School of Agriculture it must be furnished with
a full staff and equipped with a suitable library.

Of its success, if properly sustained, there can be no doubt. The difficulty of joining in-
tellectual and manual labour can be overcome. The union of the scientific and the practical,
of the reason why and the manner how, of the skill of intellect and the skill ©f hand can be
accomplished.

The golden mean of a technical education can certainly be struck between a literary edu-
cation on the one hand and mere apprenticeship on the other. Such a mean has been obtained
elsewhere and can be here.

In the grasp of manhood all such difficulties in practical working vanish.

The ulterior end to raise the nation by increasing its wealth, is a noble one, its immediate
aim to increase the agricultural products of the country and to raise the social standard of
the farming community by placing here and there over the land a greater number of intelli-
gent agriculturalists to act as leaven upon the mass, is one which commands the support not
only of the class immediately benefited, but of the country at large.

But the Institution is in its infancy, and men ask for immediate results. These must be
obtained or the Institution may be strangled in its cradle. The one thing needed is bold and
decided Parliamentary support. And if the end aimed at be to elevate the nation and increase
its power, and if the means towards the accomplishment of that end are obtainable, as un-
doubtedly they are, the Institution which is to furnish those means demands support from a
body of men, one of the main aims of whose very existence is to secure the identical end for
which the institution was established.

To it in its present probationary state may well be applied the words of our greatest liv-
ing thinker, " in half measures there is death, in action — manlike action — alone is there life."

I have the honour to be. Sir,
Your Ubedient Servant,

GuELPH, November 27th, 1864.

Sir, — I yesterday received from Prtfessor Buckland the following ncte : —

" We have to prepare returns for the House of all matters of a public interest, relating

to the Agricultural School and Farm.

" Will you please furnish a copy of the Minutes of the Commisi^ion at your earliest

convenience."

30

As Secretary of the Commission I could not possibly do so without the consent of the
members thereof. I therefore despatched to Mr. Buckland the following telegram : —

" Immediately, at orders of the Commissioner, with consent of the Chairman, or ma-
jority of the Commission." At the same time I saw Mr. Laidlaw, and telegraphed Jas.
Young, Esq., JM.P., both of whom granted permission.

Allowed todo so by themajority of the Honorary Council- -its Chairman being in Illinois,
at your orders I herewith forward a copy of the two meetings of the Honorary Council, held
since I have been its Secretary.

The Council met, pursuant to notice, this second day of October.
There were present : —

Hon. A. McKellar,
" D. Christie,

James Young, Esq., M.P.,

Professor Buckland.

Hon. D. Christie was appointed Chairman.

The Rector of the Ontario School of Agriculture was requested to act as Secretary.
It was moved by James Young, Esq., M.P., seconded by Professor Buckland, and
resolved —

"That J. W. Langmuir, Esq., Inspector of Prisons, Asylums, &c., and the Rector be
a Committee to prepare and draft by-laws and regulations for the internal organization and
government of the Institution and Farm, to be submitted to the Council at its next
meeting."

It was recommended that the stairway opposite the office should be closed, and the pre-
sent Reading-Room extended, and that the following additional periodicals should be placed
on file.

" Mark Lane Express."
" North British Agriculturist."
" Irish Farmer's Gazette."
"Country Gentleman (English.)
*' Chicago Stock Journal.' '

The Rector was also authorized to procure periodicals for Sabbath reading, as well as a
Library for the same purpose.

It was deemed desirable to consider the propriety of placing a Mansard roof on the
Building at present used ; and the Secretary was ordered to write to Mr. TuUy, requesting
him to furnish estimates as to the cost of such roof.
The Council then adjourned.

The minutes of last meeting were read and approved.

The Secretary reported that the recommendation made at the last meeting had been car-
ried into effect, and that he had written to Mr. Langmuir and Mr. Tully.

The following reply, from the latter gentleman, was laid on the table : —

"October 9th, 1874.

"Sir, — I have the honour to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 1st
instant, requesting that an estimate of the cost of a Mansard roof for the building used as a
School of Agriculture at Guelph should be furnished.

" Unless plans and specifications were prepared, a reliable estimate could not be furnished,
and as the time mentioned is not sufficient for the purpose, T can only forward you an approx-
imate estimate, which I trust will answer the requirements of the Honorary Commission

" For taking off the roof of the first portion constructing Mansard story, with square
tower over the present porch, the amount necessary would be $6,000.

" I remain,

" iTour obedient servant,

" (Signed) Kivas Tully,
" W. Johnston, Esq., " Architect.

Secretary, Honorary Commission."

It was moved by James Laidlaw, Esq., seconded by James Young, Esq., M.P., "That
the Secretary be ordered to request Mr. Tully to furnish the Commission with plans and speci-
fications for a Mansard roof on the building, and an estimate based thereon to be presented at
their next meeting."

The following recommendations were then agreed to.

I. — Farm Department.

1. That a straight road, one chain and a quarter in width, dividing the farm in two,
should be commenced this Fall, and part of it graded ; all wood required to be cut on line of
this road.

2. That fields Nos. 19, 20 (a & h), and 20 be changed into lawn, orchard, and veget-
able garden, and the old orchard in 20 (Jb) removed.

Drainage.

1. This Fall:

(1.) A main drain, 4 inch tile, and side drains be placed at foot of 15 (b) in order to
render that field ready for barley in the spring.

(2.) A main drain. 6 inch tile, be run through 4, 5, 21 and 22.

(3.) An open ditch at the foot of 27, 20,25, cleaned out, and continued in two branches,
one through 23 to assist in drying that swamp, and the main one through 31, 32 and 33, in
order that 33 and 34 may be placed in crop in the spring.

2. Next Spring :

(1.) That side drains be placed in 4, so as to sow in turnips.

(2.) That the main drain be continued through 6, so that G {a & h) may be placed in
crop.

' . 38

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 23.) A. 1874

3. Next Summer and Fall :

(1.) A main drain, 6 inch tile, coming up to the other at 7, be runthrough 14, 15, and
continued through 2 to the road.

(2.) Side drains be placed in 15 (a) and in 21, 22, the former being summer-fallowed,
the latter broken up.

Total, $1,600.00 for Drainage.

II.— Live Stock.

1. That 20 of the herd of cattle should be sold at Christmas market, the remainder at
Easter.

That 20 of the shearling ewes should be kept for breeding purposes, and the remaining
73 sheep sold at the Christmas market.

That with the $2,200.00, or thereabouts, procured at Christmas, there be bought at

1 " '• Ram 150 00

3 Pure-bred Durham Heifers 1,325 00

2. That one of the pairs of horses be sold in the spring, and two pairs, with one
of oxen be bought; the horses bought being common an d quieter horses.

3. That an appropriation for buying stock in Britain be asked for.

4. That $2,000.00 for Live Stock, exclusive of the appropriation asked for buying
stock in Britain be placed in the estimates.

III. — Horticultural Department.

1. That the gardener be requested to furnish a plan of the grounds in front of the build-
ing, with fields Nos. 20 (« & b) and 19 laid out in lawn, 28 in small fruits, and 20 in vegetable
garden ; such plan to include two approaches to the building and arrangement of the Lawn ;
and to be laid before the Council at its next meeting.

2. That a temporary Conservatory be erected this fall, and one of the permanent ones
next summer.

IV. — Mechanical Department.

1. Besides all necessary repairs and alterations about the building and out-buildings, there
be built —

(1.) A carpenter's shop, away from the rest of the buildings, this fall.
(2.) A dairy cellar at north side of the building for next year's purposes.

2. That it is expedient to consider the propriety of covering the building with a Man-
sard roof surmounted by a tower fitted up as a meteorological station.

V. — School Department.

1 It is expedient that a curriculum of the course of study and work to be pursued should
be immediately drawn up and published in a calendar which should give besides, extracts from
the Report on which the Institution is based, the subjects required for entrance, extracts
from the by-laws and regulations of the Institution, and all other information which might
be required by parties or guardians or desired by matriculants.

2. That such a curriculum should include two courses, and be fitted for serving the
wants of two classes of students.

(1.) There should be a two years' course for ordinary students, at the end of which a
diploma might be given, and the course pursued should be such tliat if fair attention be paid
the student would have acquired the elements, and have laid the foundation of what is called
scientific agriculture.

(2.) A single year's course fitted for those who had assisted before in farm work, or farmers
sons who had been on their fathers' farms for at least two summers or seasons.

39

A. — Standard of Entrance.

1. For students taking the single year's course as at present, together'with proof of hav-
ing worked on a farm for at least two summers.

2. For students entering on the ordinary two years' course the standard of examination
should, with the exception of a few subjects, be the same as that required for the highest
division of our public schools, viz. :

(a) Reading, writing, spelling.

(b) Arithmetic, through cube root.

(c) Grammar, analysis and parsing of any ordinary English author.

(d) Geography, general and Canadian.

bonus of SoOfor the present may be continued.

2. The hours of work should as a maximum be an average of 5 hours per day.

operations, the best kind of manures for different soils, the best rotation of crops for the
same, the best manner of rearing and feeding stock, the different breeds and characteristics
of each, &c., &c.

The second year's course should go over the same ground as the first, but elementary
scientific instruction have been obtained, the rationale of all can be given, and a few additional
subjects added with profit.

Mr. McNair's^Statement.

The Prof has established a system bfespionage — Prof and Clarke equally guilty in matter
of card-playing — a fact'which Mr. Stirton also can prove ; the Prof was in Clarke's room when
card-playing was going on, also in the class-room when Clarke was playing ; cards were going
on also in the class-room when Clarke was playing with the boys ; Prof angrily repelled Mr.
McN.'s suggestion as to the need of certain farm implements— telling him (McN.) that was
none of his (McN.'s) business ; McN. thinks he (McN.) ought to be allowed to buy the seed,
grain, &c., needed for the farm, as he is responsible for the field management ; wishes his
duties were clearly defined ; would not have remained in his position so long, subject to so
many annoyances on part of Prof, only for the sake of the School and of those who recom-
mended him to the Government ; the boys Sorbey, J5lakely, and others were disaffected ; be
lieved that serious trouble would arise if Prof remained ; though the Prof had been a little
better since Clarke's resignation ; Prof declares that the boys and men at odd times must dig

43

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 23.) A. 1874

nothing of the matter ; McN. thinks Stirton ought to be, and is qualified, to buy cattle — but
Prof, insists on employing a man, named West, at $5 a-day, to assist Stirton in stock-buying ; so
that, with Prof, three persons go on such errand in buying common cattle — becoming the
laughing-stock of surrounding farmers ; was compelled by Prof, in spite of remonstrance, to
sow inferior grain ; boarded in College buildings sometime, and never saw any looseness about
the Housekeeper, Mrs. Petrie ; does not believe she is bad.

MEMORANDUM OF ORAL INSTRUCTIONS RE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE-

1. Certain troubles had arisen ; great dissatisfaction appeared to exist among the subor-
dinates, ascribed to their treatment by Prof. McCandless ; the students, also, were
said to be on the verge of rebellion, &c. ^

Prof. McCandless had charged Mr. Clarke with being the cause of all the diflft-
culties ; this was to be accepted cum grano salis as there had been a feeling of jealousy
between the two gentlemen.

40

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. '23.) A. 1874

The Prof, himself had perhaps been indiscreet.

But the Attorney-General clings to the hope that, as Mr. Clarke had now left
the Institution, the Prof, who had brought with him very favourable testimonials,
might be able to manage better for the future.
Mr. Mowat desired the " Committee " to make enquiry into the then existing state of
affairs, and to ascertain whether anything could be done to increase the efficiency of the
Institution and to remove any cause of trouble that might still remain and might
culminate in future outbreaks, &c.

The Attorney-General gave particular instructions to the effect that while the
inquiry was to be conducted with strict regard to the interests of the Institution,
nothing was to be done which would tend to weaken the authority of the Prof or
diminish his chances of yet proving successful in his position.

EB AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE.
Memorandum of Report op Committee.

The following is the substance of an oral report communicated to the Attorney-General
at the close of the inquiry, and which is now put into writing at the request of the Govern-
ment.

Influenced by the clearly expressed wish of the Premier, the Committee entered on the
inquiry with the most friendly feelings towards the Principal, determined to treat him with
all consideration, and to do anything, so far as consistent wnth the interests of the Institution,
to strengthen his position. The object of the Committee was not to m; ke out a strong case
against Prof. Mcf^andless ; on the contrary they discountenanced the expression of severe
censures on the Prof, otherwise the evidence against that gentleman would have been much
stronger than what they have reported.

The Committee

I. Took notrs of a lengthened statement of charges made by the Principal against various

parties connected with the Institution.

II. The statements of the " Heads of Departments" and other officers.

III. Statements of the Students.

IV. They examined the internal arrangements, and viewed the various farming operations
that were being carried on.

I. The Committee were astonished at the Professor's statement — it was ramblini;-, trivial
reckless — mainly a disjointed narative of pettty "differences' between himself and Mr.
Clarke, and several charges founded on suspicion against the Ilousekeqyer.

(a) 1. 3Ir. Clarke had constantly endeavoured to "undermine" Professor's authority and in-
fluence with students and others, "treating Students kindly ^c, &c."

2. Mr. Clarke had been guilty of jobbery, &c., in selling rhubarb to Institution, with-
out A/s, Professor's knowledge.

3. Mr. Clarke had been auilty of card -playing.

As to the first point. — We found no evidence that Mr. ' Clarke had worked against
Professor's authority — was "not loyal to him," &c. — Every little act of kindness shown the
boys by Clarke had been construed by the Professor into an attempt to win influence at
the Professor's expense, &c., &c.

As to the second jyoiuf. — From the Gardener's evidence, it appeared' there was no jobbery and
corruption in the " Rhubarb" matter ; the rhubarb was purchased at about half its real
value, and Professor knew of its purchase.

As to the third point. — Mr. Clarke had played cards two or three times with some of the
larger hoys ; but the evidence (see McNair's) went to show that the Professor was equally
guilty on this point.

{h) As to thk charges against the Housekeeper. The Professor's remarks had led
the Committee to believe that she (Mrs. Petrie) was a person of the worst character. The

47

SS Victoria. Sessional Papers {No. 28.) A. 1874

evidence was all against this ; in fact the Professor had, through his suspicious temper, magni
fied trivial occurrences into acts or evidences of criminality; had taken liveliness of disposition
as a sufficient evidence of moral laxity ; and in the opinion of Committee had grossly slan-
dered the Bousekeeper.

II. Statements of Heads of Departments.

From these the Committee inferred :

1. That the Professor was haughty and overbearing in his treatment of his subordinates.

2. That he unnecessarily interfered with them in the discharge of their proper duties

3. That while usurping duties properly belonging to the Farm-Manager, the Stock-

director, &c., he was neglecting those pertaining to his own position — e. g., giving
field instruction, proper instruction in class-room, giving proper oversight to the
internal regulations and management of the Institution.

4. That he was utterly without taet in the management of subordinates, and that really

good men would not endure his insufferable tyranny and insolence.

5. That he possessed a very imperfect knowledge of practical farming, farming imple-

ments, &c.

III. Judging from their own observations and from the Students' statements, the Committee
are of the opinion :

1. The ProfessoT is quite without skill in the management of boys; he had succeeded

in making himself thoroughly detested by many of the students, and had won the
goodwill of none ; where there was not positive dislike, there was simply indif-
ference.

2. The students attending the Institution are as fiae a lot of boys as could well be found.

3. Whatever may be the Professor's qualifications as a College lecturer, he was seriously

at fault as a School-room instructor ; he appeared to assume an amount of cul-
ture on the part of the students which they did not possess ; his " lectures,"
therefore, went beyond their grasp ; his teaching seemed not sufficiently familiar
and practical ; hfi possessed little or no power of making his instructions interest-
ing to his class ; dry routine of question and answer, without experimental work,
in science ; a loading of the memory with barren facts, without an appeal to the
understanding, &c.

4. The boys complain of receiving little or no field instruction from the Professor, and

his class-room work is of but little value ; they feel that seven hours' labour a
day is too severe ; they have too little time for study and recreation.

IV. (a) Internal arrangements :

1. Not sufficient attention is given to internal arrangements, &c. ; rooms not properly

ventilated ; no attention paid to comfort of students ; lavatory in a most filthy
condition — yet this was made a common dremtig room for the boys ; confusion, dis-
order, discomfort everywhere evident, evincing the want of efficient supervision —
in fact, if there had been no executive head— no manager — mitters could have
been in no worse condition. The Professor seemed to think he had nothing to do
with these matters ; that the condition of the rooms, the discomfort of the stu-
dents, the slovenly (not to say filthy) habits they were forming, &c., were no con-
cern of his.

2. The Committee called attention to some of these matters ; recommended certain

measures to improve the tidiness of rooms, domestic comfort of the boys, &c.

{h.) As to Fxrming Operations, &g. :

i. The Committee found that as much had been done by the heads of departments as
could reasonably be expected in the time.

2. That the '' Heads " are competent men ; Farm manager a most excellent practical

farmer, u man of intelligence ; strict yet kind with the boys, who have in turn a
great respect for him, and highly value his practical instructions. The gardener
and the stock director also seem to get along very well.

3. That the Prof has shown want of judgment in unnecessarily interferiag,with Mr.

V. Ca'ticltision :
1.

The Committee were careful to do nothing to weaken the Professor's position in the
Institution; discouraged any impression among officers and students that the Pro-
fessor was hkeiy to be removed, etc. ; delivered short addresses to the students at
the close of the proceedings, pointing out the necessity of maintaining strict disci-
pline m such an establishment ; and every student must submit to proper restraint
<Lc.; any one who could not and would not submit to the rules of the Institution
snouiu be removed, A'c.

"• ""r. r '• ^!'"f '' 5' f^^'^'^-'^^ f the Committee, undertook to make some sug-
gestions to the Professor, regarding the future management of the InstitutioS
1 he Professor fell at once into a great passion, refusing to accept any suggestions •
declaring his intention of assailing Mr. Clarke througn the public press Ac and
showing that he was a man of ungovernable temper, and reckless as to the conse-
quences of his actions on the prospects of the Institution. The Professor how-
ever at last became calm, and listened quietly to Mr. Christie: expressed his
satisfaction at tl-e manner of his treatment by the Government and the Com-
Zlf' At r M ^^"^^'"'^ ^^"ggestions, &c.. and gave the Committee to un-
of UiTlst ° ^"deavour to profit by the suggestions and the experiences

■y The Committee were decidedly of the opinion that, notwithstanding promises of - pro-
htingby the past tne Professor was not the man fur the position he occupied

without skill in the management of boys, without tact in directing subordinates-
deficient, in a word, m the sterling essential of ccmimoa sense. They feared, there-
tore, that the Institution would never succeed under a man who refused to
accept the teachmg of events, and did not grow wiser frou) experience • and
they were of opinion that the (Government would be well justified iJi the removal
of the Professor from the position he held. Still, if the Government, in the
exercise of a broad chanty, were desirous of giving Mr. McCandless a further
opportunity^ the Committee agreed that, as he was a man of considerable force of
character, there might be a chance, though in their opinion but a slight one that

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS

FOR

CONSOLIDATING THE STATUTES.

To His Excellency the Hon. John Crawford, Lieutenant-Governor of the Province of Ontario.

The Commissioners appointed for the Consolidation and Ke vision of the Statutes
affecting the Province of Ontario, have the honour to report as follows : —

By commission under the great seal of the Province of Ontario, bearing date the 24th
day of June, A.D. li?74, the undersigned wei'e appointed by your Excellency Commis-
sioners for —

" Examining, revising, classifying and consolidating such of the Public General
" Statutes which have been passed by the Parliament of the late Province of Canada, and
" which apply to the Province of Ontario, as the Legislature of the Province of Ontario has
" jurisdiction over ; and also the Statutes passed by the Legislature of Ontario ; and also,
" for examining and arranging in the manner most convenient for reference, the Public
" General Statutes which are in force in the Province of Ontario, and which the Legislature
" of Ontario has not jurisdiction over ; including the statutes of the Impei'iul Parliament,
*' printed with the Consolidated Statutes, as well as all statutes which have since been
" passed by the Imperial Parliament, and which affect Ontario ; and also the statutes
" passed by the Parliament of the late Province of Canada, and by the Parliament of the
" Dominion of Canada."

We understand that the expected result of the woik of the Commissioners is a col
lection in a form as compendious as possible of all the Public General Statutes in force in
Ontario.

Owing to differences in the character and sources of these Statutes, our duties in re-
gard to them are of a two-fold nature.

One class of Acts, namely, those over the subjects of which the Legislature of Onta-
rio has no jurisdiction, we have no authority to alter, either as respects the language
of the enactments themselves, or their division or subdivision into chapters or sections.
These Acts are to be printed as they stand, omitting, however, such portions as appear to
be effete or inapplicable to Ontario, or to iuive been by later enactments superseded or
repealed, and arranging the remaining portions in such order nml under such titles as we
may consider " most convenient for reference." The addition of notes explanatory of
our method of arrangemtnit, and of the omission of particular sections, or fur the purpose
of directing attention to other and cognate enactments, the Commissioners consider essen-
tial to " convenience of reference."

With regard to the other class of Acts, which relate to matteis now ])hiced by the
British North America Act v/ithin the contiol of tlie Provincial Legislatuje, our duty is
of a much more extensive character, and appears to involve the following particulars : —

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 26.) A. 1874

1. To ascertain which of such Statutes or what portions thereot are still in force ;

2. To classify and arrange these and their several clauses in such manner as may
seem best, retaining, as a rule, the original wording, but wherever it may be necessary ;

3. To abbreviate and improve the language as far as may be advisable for the purpose
of consolidation ; but not so as to change the law.

With reference also to the latter class of Acts, we are to report to your Excellency
any suggestions as to amendment or repeal which may seem to us requisite or desirable.
This, however, we regard as an independent branch of our work, to be kept distinct
from the work of consolidation ; and in this respect our duties are less extensive than
those entrusted to the Commissioners appointed in some other countries for the revision or
consolidation of the statute law. For instance, the Commissioners in New Brunswick in
lt<54: were directed "to consolidate, simplify in their language; revise, and arrange in one
uniform code the Acts of the Assembly, incorporating therein all such alterations and
amendments as they should deem necessary." The Commissioners in Nova Scotia were
empowered to consolidate, simplify in their language, and publish the statutes in one
uniform code.

The combination of powers of consolidation and amendment has in England been
carried out in several instances with considerable success in relation to detached portions
of the law, notably in the measures known as " Peel's Acts," relating to the criminal law
passed in 1826 and 1831 ; but whenever, as in Lord Brougham's scheme in 1833, for the
improvement of the statute book, an attempt has been made to apply this system to the
consolidation of the vdiole of the statute law, the very extensivene.ss of their powers has
proved a source of emban-assment to the Commissioners, and rendered nugatory the
whole scheme. The task of emendation once embarked upon, the Commissioners found
themselves imperceptibly gliding into codification, a task thf impossil^ility of which, in
relation to the statute law alone (the office of which is merely to supply the defects of
the common law) has more than once been demonstrated by experiments conducted under
the most favourable auspices.

Were even a mere collection made of the various Acts or parts of Acts in force, with-
out more alteration in their language than is rendered absolutely necessary by the re-
arrangement of the selected enactments, the Legislature would have to rely to a great
extent upon the fidelity and accuracy of the Commissioners for the extraction from the
whole mass of the statute law, of all the enactments bearing upon each particular subject ;
but if, in addition, amendments are embodied in the revision, and the whole law again
submitted to the Legislature, the danger of error is increased, and the labour im-
posed upon the Legislature greatly augmented ; for, unless the amendments of the Com-
missioners were taken indiscriminately upon trust, it would be necessary that the Legis-
lature should enter into a minute investiiration of the probable effect of every alteration
proposed, until a task, already one of no small labour, would become impmcticable
from the length of time necessary for its due execution.

The plan pursued by the Royal Commissioners in England, appointed in 1854, for the
purpose " of consolidating the statutes of the realm, or such parts of them as they might
find cajiable of being usefully and conveniently consolidated," was to take up first the
Acts relating to some particular branch of the law, and, when these were consolidated, to
proceed with another tolerably extensive division, and so seriatim, until the whole consoli-
dation should be completed.

This method of proceeding was strongly condemned by several members of the
Commission, amongst others by Sir A. J. E. Cockburn and Sir Kichard Bethell, the
Attorney-General and Solicitor-General of the day, who advocated as a pieliminary pro-
ceeding, the preparation of an analytical outline of the whole subject. The former plan,
however, prevailed, and the consolithition of the criminal law was actually accomplished.
Specimen bills for the consolidation of the law relative to Marriages, Registration of
Marriages, Bills of Exchange, Aliens and Executors and Administrators, were also pre-
pared and submitted by Lord Cranworth to the House of Lords, but they never passed
into law.

The system adopted by the R(jyal Commis.sioners possesses some advantages where,
as in England, the mass of the statute law is very large. Important branches such as
Ctmimercial. Criminal, or Real Proiterty Law, c;in thus, in a comparativelv .short time be

o

3S Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 26.) A. 1874

presented to the public in a compact form, instead of their production being delayed until
the completion of the other portions embraced in the geneial scheme. Where, however,
as in Ontario, the number of the statutes to be revised is comparatively small, and a con-
solidation of the whole within a moderate period is feasible, there would seem to be no
sufficient reason for proceeding otherwise than upon a general analytical outline compre-
hending the whole of the subjects to be dealt with. A greater degree of perspicuity may
thus be attained and, provided the outline arrangement is properly planned, the consoli-
dation should not be open to the objection that cognate portions of the law are placed
under several heads, or matters relating to property under heads relating to personal
duties.

After a consideration of the plans pursued by other Commissions having similar
objects, we proceeded to discharge the duties entrusted to us in the following manner : —

As preliminary to the actual work of consolidation it was obviously necessary —

1. To determine what Acts or parts of Acts, within the purview of the Commission*
are in force in Ontario.

2. To arrange these under the various heads and titles of an appropriate classi-
fication.

In order properly to perform these duties, a thorough examination in detail of the
whole of the Statutes had to be made. It was found most convenient, first of all com-
mencing with the Acts of the last Session, to trace back to the Consolidated Statutes of
Canada and Upper Canada, noting, in the margin of the Acts affected, repeals, amendments
and further provisions ; and then, beginning with the Consolidated Statutes, to proceed
in chronological order, making in respect to each Act the following enquiries : —

(a) Whether the Act was of a i^ublic general character.

(b) Whether it was one having only occasional or temporary operation.

(c) Whether (if the Act was passed subsequently to Confederation,) it was in its
nature or fi-om its scope applicable to Ontario, or,

{d) Whether (if it was an Act of the late Province of Canada,) it was originally
applicable to Upper Canada.

(e) If so, whether it is now applicable to Ontario.

(f) Whether it was effete or had expired.

(g) Whether it was subject to the Legislative authority of the Dominion Parliament
or of the Ontario Legislature.

(h) Whether it had been repealed or superseded by any subsequent enactment of
the Legislature now having legislative authority OA'er the subject matter.

('i) Whether, if repealed or superseded, the abrogation was total, or only effectual so
far as related to the subjects over which the repealing Legislature had jurisdiction.

(j) What was the effect of the amendments which had been made (if any).

The result of this examination has been embodied in two tables.

The first is a chronological index of the statute law as it stands. It shows, by means
of a short note to each Act, which of the statutes are in force, which of them have been
superseded or repealed, either partially or entirely, and which of them have expired,
become effete, or been disallowed ; distinguishing public general from local, occasional,
temporary, or private Acts ; and also indicating which Acts are subject to the Legislative
authority of the Dominion Parliament, and whicli to that of the Ontario Legislature.

The second table is in two parts, corresponding to the divisions of the statutes
caused by the two different sources of legislation in Canada. It shows the classification
at present proposed to be adopted in the completed form of the work ; and under the
particular heads are arranged, in a general way, the various Acts which appear by the
first table to be in force. With regard to the classification proposed — as that adopted by
the Commissioners in 1859, besides being excellent in itself', is one with which the
readers of the Statutes are comparatively familiar, we have taken it as the basis for the
new classification, making only such alterations as are necessary, and are naturally
suggested by sees. 91 and 92 of the British North America Act.

The preparation of these tables has been a task of considerable difficulty. The
total number of Statutes to be examined amounted to 2,707, of which about 1,100 were

38 Victoria. Sessional Papers (No. 26.) A. li

of a public general character, and the questions which their consideration suggested were
both numerous and preplexing.

Many of these questions were such as must be expected in all revisions of statutes.
For instance, whether an Act is of such a public general character as to make it proT)f^ to
be consolidated is not always a matter of easy determination. Again, the mode • ; pro-
cedure which seems to be necessary in all parliamentary legislation, has always constituted
a fertile source of difficulties— subsequent Acts repeat sections of former Acts upon the
same subject, repeal portions or contain provisions more or less at variance with the prior
enactments without expressly repealing them, and many instances are to be found of re-
pealing statutes having been themselves repealed without the use of any words indicating
an intention to prevent the revival of the original Act ; but embarrassment and delay pro-
ceeding from this source have chiefily arisen from the employment of i-epealing clauses in
the form " so much of any Acts heretofore passed as relates to " a particular subject, or
"all Acts or parts of Acts inconsistent with this Act, are hereby repealed " — forms which
are as troublesome to the interpreter of an Act as they are convenient to the draftsman,
and have necessitated such a minute examination of many of the longest Acts as very seri-
ously to retard the progress of the Commissioners.

Besides difficulties which are common to all revisions of Statutes, we have had to
contend with others which form a special feature of this present revision.

These arise from the creation, by the British North America Act, of two distinct
sources of legislation as an element in the constitution of the Dominion of Canada, owing
to which the Province of Ontario is subject not only to laws passed by its Local Legisla-
ture, and valid within its territorial limits alone— but also to laws passed by the Parliament
of the Dominion, which aflect Ontario only as one of its constituent parts. No analogy to
this state of things is to be found even in the various revisions uf the Statute Law in the
United States, whose constitution of confederated States, subject to a federal Government,
in some other respects resembles the constitution of the Dominion of Canada. The
revisions of the Statutes in the various States, however, merely regard the State Acts, and
do not deal with enactments of Congress which affect the State in common with the rest
of the Union.

Owing to the comparatively short time which has elapsed since the Confederation of
the Provinces, many of the questions of jurisdiction arising under the British North
America Act have not as yet come up for consideration in Parliament, or been brought
before the courts fcjr judicial opinion ; yet, to separate the statutes into two parts corres-
ponding to the two divisions caused by the different sources of Canadian legislation, would
be practically to determine many of the questions of jurisdiction that can arise. We should
hesitate to dispose thus summarily of matters of such importance, even if the unity of
adopting such a course were more apparent, ami the reasons for each decision sufficiently
obvious ; but the questions would not be finally disposed of, and the necessarily concise
wording of the British North America Act leaves the proper place of many Acts an open
question.

Other difficulties peculiar to the present consolidation arise from the defective powers
which any Commission appointed by your Excellency alone, must necessarily possess, in
relation to statutes not within the legislative authority of the Legislature of Ontario.

By section 129 of the British North America Act it was enacted that all laws in force
in Canada should continue in force in Ontario and Quebec as if the Union had not been
made ; sul)ject, nevertheless, to be repealed, abolished, or altered by the Parliament of
Canada, or by the Legislature of Ontario and Quebec, according to their respective au-
thority.

With regard to many subjects embraced in Acts of the late Province of Canada, but
in relation to which the Dominion Parliament has now exclusive jurisdiction under sees.
1)1 and 92 of the Ihitish ^orth America Act, we find that that Parliament has exercised
its legislative authority, ])y the passing of what seems in each case a comprehensive enac '
nient, intended to embrace the whole of the particular subject; but the Act of the Pr ''
vince of Canada upon the same suljject liaving been either entirely ignored, or lepealec '
only .so far as inconsistent with the Dominion Act, the sections of the former which are
unaflCccted l)y tin; latter, appear to be still in force in Ontario and Quebec, although they
have no application t<j the rest of the Dominion.

Where cases of this kind occur, the oulj- mode in which we can proceed, appears to be
as follows: — By a careful examination of the two Acts, to come to a conclusion as to
what portions of the prior statute are re{)ealed or superseded by the Dominion Act, and
omitting these, to print the remaining portions in the form of addenda to the Dominion
-.<^^ to which, however, tiK-y will occasionally be found to form rather incongruous
pendants.

Inasmuch also as the pf<\\-er of legislation in matters relating to criminal law is given
exclusively to the Dominion, it is impossible for the Ontario Legislature to enact any
portion of this branch of the law, and therefore sections relating to criminal matters con-
tained in any statute of the Province of Canada, over which in other respects the Ontario
Legislature has jurisdiction, must be printed amoLgst the subjects within the exclusive
legislative authority of the Dominion.

The Imperial Acts affecting Ontario, and with which we are directed to deal, are not
numerous, but have not as yet occupied our attention.

With respect to the Canadian Statutes, the work of consolidation has been so
far proceeded with that the law has been collected from the numerous Acts through
which it lay dispersed, and has been to a certain extent arranged under appro-
priate heads. It still remains, however, in the shape in which it was originally
enacted, with all those differences of language and form which were inevitable
from the diverse habits of thought and expression peculiar to the successive drafts-
men of the various Acts. All these dissimilarities have next to be hai'monized ;
redundancies expunged ; contradictory, discordant, or irreconcilable enactments elimin-
ated or explained ; and the law presented in a condensed, methodical, and simplified
form. Upon this task Ave have already entered, and made considerable progress in
respect to the Acts within the jurisdiction of Ontario, and a consolidation of these, if not
a revised edition of the whole of the A.cts within the purview of the Commission, we
hope to be able to submit to your Excellency before the next Session of the Legislature.
